Great article Helen 👌

As a developer you might need to know that you will need to create EXACTLY ONE user per application (with restricted permissions).

Never ever use the root user in your app (I got $4000 bill cuz a guy in our team used it in the dev environment and mistakenly pushed into github 😨)

Uh oh... that's crazy. Did AWS waive the charge or did you have to pay up?

Lucky you! Time for some team training on never using root for daily use ... or pushing credentials to Github.
