I learned the expensive wya that Aurora Serverless v2 does not, in fact, scale down to 0 when I created three instances for a few days when I was testing out configuration changes. It ended up costing us $300.

Terraform, because the tooling around it is just much better for things like drift detection, showing planned changes, pipelines, etc.

Sounds useful!

We're using service control policies to enforce tagging on certain resource types, and retroactively for the rest.

Considering to use a "shift-left" tool as well, but it would need to support Terraform, CDK, Serverless and Cloudformation.

I work with TODO-lists. I break every task into mini TODO-steps and tick them off as I go along. If new ideas pop into my head, I add them to the list.

Today my TODOs included items like “research how to stop writes to a postgres database” and “make a list of all the places where we use x database.”

It’s actually still the same at other universities. The CS courses OP mentioned are just some of the courses they’ll do during their degree. The rest are also mathematics and other elective science or engineering courses.
