🥎 "I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains." - Anne Frank
Hello friends!
I hope your week was good. Mine was filled with juggling between baby sitting as usual, some coding and a bit of writing. I did pretty deep research on data transfer costs on AWS and found some pretty cool things about it. I’ll write about it soon.
I also made some decent progress on my cost savings handbook. The section around EC2 cost optimisation is now complete. Go take a look!

AWS savings plan has always been one of the first instrument of choice when engineering teams start cutting their AWS bills. It is extremely easy to buy and gives instant savings.
But..there are many caveats to it. It is very easy to over commit, buy wrong savings plan or get stuck with an instance family you don’t really need. It is difficult to decide how much you should buy, what duration to commit (1 or 3 years), should you pay upfront and so on.
In this article, I discuss all of these issues in depth. Please read and hit reply to share what you think. If you really want to go deep into how AWS’ savings plan work and how you should buy them, go ahead and read my handbook on it. It is completely free.

Why don't programmers like nature? It has too many bugs.
That's all for now, folks! Have a great week. Keep reading and learning.
