summary
Mostly AWS-focused practical war stories about cost, limits and ops: concrete mistakes include leaving CI environments running and turning a $400/month dev setup into a $1.2M/year bill, $200k/month eaten by inbound data transfer, and a $3k/week CloudWatch metrics surprise. Covers tooling and fixes like AWS Nuke and Cloud Custodian, spot instances (save millions but vanish with two minutes notice), quota/API throttling, MFA and leaked GitHub keys, running EKS instead of DIY clusters, using multiple instance families to survive capacity shortages.
