Nothing here yet.
I am available to work on open source projects, mentoring and freelance work.
Thanks for your thoughtful considerations, Bruce. I just experienced an issue on free tier, as I forgot to delete some DynamoDB tables and, although they weren't being used, they were consuming my free tier capacity, as they reserve some capacity by default. Luckily for me, AWS Budgets sends by default an alert e-mail when a service consumes more than 85% of its free tier limit. It is possible to create custom alerts on it, as well. I did a quick look on Ionos and I assumed you are using Deploy Now, is this right? Unfortunately it supports only PHP apps:disappointed: I am not too concerned with the AWS lock at this moment, as looking their past actions, cloud services costs tend to go lower over time and they usually get better in usability and features.
Thanks for your comment! There are indeed free tier services that expire after 12 months, categorized as "12 months free", like EC2 or RDS. But there are also the "Always free" options, like DynamoDB, API gateway and Lambda, so if you keep your usage below the free tier limit, they will be free indefinitely. This can change, of course, but AWS really wants to grow the adoption of serverless services, so I am optimistic that we can enjoy these free offering for a while.
