    Discontinued Amazon Product Lookup [Moved to: https://github.com/canercetin-randomguy/amazon-suppressed-check]

  • I am trying to work with MWS, and AWS SDK of GoLang horribly fails when tried to use standalone, but oh my oh my.

    This is only the auth&sign part. and it doesnt work. and it is already 297 LoC. god.

  • simple-static-website

    Publish a simple, cheap, CDN backed, static website using a single AWS CloudFormation script

  • I created a CloudFormation script specifically to do this (including CloudFront for CDN). Yes, there's reasonable complexity, but it's a trade-off of security and configuration. As others noted, the documentation is good, and this took me a weekend to write including learning CloudFormation from scratch.

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • cli

    A CLI to create code sandboxes with automatic HTTPS and long running processes in your cloud provider account (by eleven-sh)

  • Same sentiment here.

    Shameless plug but, as a side-project, I'm working on an open-source CLI to abstract away the complexity of deploying simple things on cloud providers.

    If anyone wants to contribute.
