It is no secret that it is not that hard to accidentally spend a boatload of money on AWS. This Twitter user told the story of his $77,000 mistake with a monkey emoji (because what’s funnier than spending the price of an entry level Tesla by accident.).

If you do anything next year, do this. The days between Christmas and New Year are decidedly geared around reflection. It’s a period to look back on the year, perhaps even the decade, restore energy and prepare for the one ahead.

A good chunk of my career was spent in banking — an industry that is generally wary of innovation and tech adoption, at least in part due to its highly regulated nature. The tech industry, on the other hand, has spent the last two decades “moving fast and breaking things,” with few regulations standing in the way. From my perspective at the crossroads via AvidXchange, neither model is ideal.

To help make sure you don't surpass your budget, AWS offers billing alerts, which send you an alert when your costs have reached a certain threshold. This can be a handy way to keep your costs in check, but can take some time to set up and will cost you some extra money.

Traditional budgeting and forecasting methods can no longer keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving business environment. Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty.

Like any shift, such as moving from on-prem to the cloud, the reality is, applications need to be designed a certain way in order for you to reap the cost and efficiency benefits.
