It's really difficult for AWS or any other serverless provider for that matter, to achieve a kind of "bulletproof and safe user experience" across different offerings that encompasses everything that has to do with billing/monitoring/alerting and then also cover all kinds of potential customer scenarios (like the function calling itself, as one example).
For example, it's totally understandable that the alarms can be specified per region, why shouldn't it be like this?
Also the global AWS billing $300 alert seems to have worked but you were asleep as far as I understand. If it was a call-out style alert, then you would've noticed in the middle of the night and could've stopped it.
The only thing I agree is frustrating is this:
> CloudFront includes the AWS Shield Standard feature, but somehow, it was not activated for this case (Lambda@Edge calling itself via CloudFront).
Maybe you can argue that you weren't made aware of this but idk... keep us updated
