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...
