I find the idea of using AWS for personal use absolutely terrifying. You are signing up for literally unlimited costs. If my site gets ddosed, I don’t want a $100,000 bill, I want the site to go offline.

- ladzoppelin 3y agoHonestly this is a valid concern. I am not knocking AWS and they are working with us but $100000 in one week from bad code in a Java service is really nerve racking. For the record the only reason I use AWS over other clouds is because they actually work with you when stuff like this happens. ( Its taking a long time but we are hopeful)
