  1. 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...

  3. 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

  5. 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

  7. 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...

  9. 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...
