3000 USD in CAD is 4,017.45 so for me it was even worse after conversion.

Learning to deal with Cloud Computing pricing is like learning Regex, You put it off for years and once you feel enough friction and learn it you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Full-stack development is losing its glided title, and so to stay competitive I had to say to myself, I HATE AWS so I'm going to be a master and jumped right in. One of my junior devs told me he hated Regex and so I said: "You shouldn't have told me that because I'm going to make you do it full time for a week." Cloud computing is still a mystery to most which is really good for job progression if you learn it now but it's going to become considered fundamental knowledge required in a few years I think.

This is my twitter, though I have yet to put it to good use.

How to set up billing alarms and other AWS caveats and potential pitfalls to avoid might make for a good article or tutorial.

What an interesting thread.

I may just do this. I've been using AWS not just professionally, but for a small lab for the last 5+ years.

I actually have little test experiments I do to try and keep costs down. I spend typically between $11-20 USD a month. Think of it as TDD but for billing. Maybe I can write something up... hmm.
