How about having fun with an AWS Russian Roulette using one of the most expensive AWS API calls?

(About $36K per year for this AWS Shield API)

You go first.

TIL `curl` has built-in support to generate AWS SigV4 headers so you can do AWS API calls with a single command 😮

Apparently the issue with AWS "appears to be related to DNS resolution of the DynamoDB API endpoint in US-EAST-1 Region".

Can someone translate that into English and explain how serious it is?

Some of the most unexpected fallouts of an AWS outage:

1. Postman stopped working: an API development tool built to be an alternative to simple tools like curl.

2. Eight Sleep customers couldn’t use their beds to change positions / set or keep temperature

In half a day's work, switched AWS API requests (SQS, S3) from `awscli` (Python) to a shell implementation, taking single request latency from 1800-2000ms to 160ms.

good job AWS you muppets

Tell me more about how much you cut your cloud bill. At some point it comes back around to indict you.

“I cut my AWS bill by 98% when I stopped publicly posting my API keys on GitHub!”

me-south-1 and me-central-1 just sit there and hang, circleci declares the build job dead and terminates it.

This is exactly why Secrets Manager charging 40¢ a month per secret is such a bad look for AWS.

Conversely, storing secrets in source code remains free. Theoretically.

Modern software development be like: I wrote 10 lines of code to call an API that calls another API, which calls yet another API that finally turns on a lightbulb. Pray that Cloudflare or AWS will not be down during this operation; otherwise, there will be no light for you.

A local-first CLI that scans an AWS account for unused resources, prices each one from the AWS Price List API, and generates or performs the cleanup. Read-only by default, with every price fetched from the live API and dated in each report.

🚀 We just shipped v0.210!

If you're a Zed Pro subscriber or using your own API keys (Anthropic/AWS Bedrock), Claude Haiku 4.5 (AnthropicAI) is now available within Zed.

Thanks versecafe!

An interesting undocumented API just hit my automation. Looks like AWS is planning a Vector DB for S3? Or some kind of storage Vector storage offering? Operations include:
- QueryVectors
- PutVectors
- PutVectorBucketPolicy
- ListVectors
- ListVectorBuckets

The Claude Platform on AWS is now generally available.

AWS customers get the full set of Claude API features, with AWS authentication, billing, and commitment retirement.

It looks like something in the new AWS console refresh (yay!) has broken the undocumented-aws-api-hunter (boo!). I’m going to be traveling this week but will try to find time to diagnose the problem and issue a fix.
