Not to cheapen the work that Wodni's accomplished, but I imagine a very large part of the reason why this has worked is because a talented, passionate chef has decided to work in a hospital, rather than achieve notoriety and fortune ru

You're right, but vanillin (C8H8O3) is very dominant (even in natural vanilla) and, as natural vanilla is cooked, a lot of the other compounds tend to be destroyed.

It does scale to 0 when there are no connections to the DB. Cold-to-warm takes 25 seconds, but for dev/test this shouldn't be a problem.

I’ve just bitten the bullet and replace them every 6 months. I think there’s a flaw that let the outside grill get pushed in and making the whole thing quieter. I hope they fix this issue, but they’re also not expensive enough for me to hat

CloudWatch is definitely a write optimised product. Any kind of reading or searching is pretty terrible. I’m sure AWS would recommend you use Kinesis Firehose or something to put in ElasticSearch and use Kibana or something. But I would be
