cloud is so good now it’s hard to justify not doing something bespoke. ec2 spot is insanely cheaper than turnkey cicd, and better in almost every way. i’m delighted to pay 30% over infra cost for convenience, but not 500%. and it better actually be convenient, not just have a good landing page and sales team. this month i learned localzones have even better spot prices. losangeles-1 is half the spot price of us-west-2. for a runner, do something like this, but react to an http call instead of a s3 put[1]. for a web ui do something like this[2]. s3, lambda, and ec2 spot are a perfect fit for cicd and a lot more. 1. https://github.com/nathants/libaws/tree/91b1c27fc947e067ed4607848b1c5b5cf48c4636/examples/complex/s3-ec2 https://github.com/nathants/libaws/tree/91b1c27fc947e067ed46... 2. https://github.com/nathants/aws-exec/tree/e68769126b5aae0e3515797d0d8401b917f6e16a https://github.com/nathants/aws-exec/tree/e68769126b5aae0e35...
