We’re not since cost controls are secondary to building features.

makes sense tbh. i’ve seen teams take that approach and only think about cost once it’s already a problem. ever had that come back to cause issues later?

Best way to defeat competition is to make sure they never get out of the gate

yeah exactly. feels like the pricing model alone keeps a lot of folks from even starting. one wrong config and you’re done before you ship anything.

Because AWS doesn't have out-of-the-box costs killswitches.

yeah that’s the part that gets me too. feels wild that there’s no built-in way to cap spend at the account level. even a “pause all” button would go a long way

I like that you linked old reddit. Using the normal domain makes the site utterly unusable.

agreed. old reddit actually works. no extra stuff and doesn’t get in the way
