Billing alerts. That should be the second thing you set up with AWS after MFA on the root.
For managed services, never put them into production until you understand the cost structure. Unlimited scalability == unlimited cost.

- depod 5y agoThank you for your opinion. The billing alerts I actually had set up, stupidly I set up a budget of 1000$ hoping the budget in that case means all services will be shut down when they reach that limit. I received an email after the first 500$. I never thought I could spend more than $100 a day, so I didn't check with the Budget Manager often enough. It's my own fault for working on that premise and not checking what budget means on AWS.
- moralestapia 5y agoI always had this doubt Do billing alerts work immediately? Or do they let you know like an hour, a day, or whatever, after the limit has been reached?
