Answer 1

To tail CloudWatch Logs effectively I created a tool called cw.

It's super easy to install (it supports brew, snap and scoop), fast (it targets the specific hardware architecture, no intermediate runtime) and it has a set of features that make life easier.

Your example with cw would be:

cw tail -f groupName:streamName
