Serverless: A lesson learned. The hard way.
The actual cost is now $206 and over $1000 forecasted, it makes me think twice about using pay-per-use services in the future. One little mistake can cost a lot of money, the budget notifications were very late so there was very little I could do against it.
Right now I’m continuously refreshing the billing page on Amazon, hoping it wont go any higher – I probably wont be sleeping much tonight.
I’m not saying serverless is bad, but you should be very careful with it. Keep an eye on your logs, test everything again and again. Set up a budget alarm, even though I still ended up with $206 costs, it could have been much much worse without one.
.. This is probably the most stupid thing I ever did. One missing
return;ended up costing me $206.
