Always fun to hear from a bank how to cheat at something...
Even for personal accounts, consider multi account - never use root account directly, and never issue API keys from it. Just use for budget.
Service control policy - just block the ec2 instance types XXL...
Budget alerts
Language helps future you understand, as well as team
Boxes on a diagram never the issue. It's the lines.
Serverless is simpler application code, but more integration
Reusable patterns explain your intent.
One level up from normal flow diagram - generic terms like aggregate, change data capture rather than specific technology like SQS
Help choose between competing AWS products eg Eventbridge vs SQS vs SNS
Then use same high level terms in code
Everyone loves Lego ...
Change is constant. Compose events to make a service.
Need diverse engineering skills, as things like observability and queue dynamics as important business logic
Serverless first is not serverless-must - end to end cost efficient and effective enough at that cost
See your vendor lockin as instead a partnership with them providing training etc
Every stack should have a dashboard, for trends, not just alerts for now
Leapp looks fab way to solve the mess of managing multiple AWS credential profiles
Or managing port forwards from local through bastion to RDS or EC2 (with help from System Manager)
Plugs into LocalStack so can have a profile that runs code fully locally. That seems non-free tho
No VPN required, and free as well...
DynamoDB direct to API Gateway. Neat simple API. Zero code.
Add auth with Cognito.
Server aide param validation.
API Gateway upload CSV direct to S3. And event triggers Step Function
Distributed Map handles insert for you
Dude. Where is my Lambda indeed...

Time for another awesome #awscomsum
