built a zero-infra AWS monitor to stop "Bill Shock"
Hey everyone,
As a student, I’ve always been terrified of leaving an RDS instance running or hitting a runaway Lambda bill. AWS Budgets is okay, but I wanted something that hits me where I actually work which is Discord.
so I built AWS Cost Guard, a lightweight Python tool that runs entirely on GitHub Actions.
It takes about 2 minutes to fork and set up. No servers required**.**
