And to answer your question. Peacetime. I’m getting certs. I’m doing presentations. I’m building my network.
I know work is going to get hard real soon, as demand spikes.

My concerns are a few years old, whilst working for a large bank and defining regulated interfaces using OpenAPI Spec 3.0, which used a draft JSON Schema spec. This isn’t a comfortable position. As draft - indicates “can change without warning”. And regulatory means fines for non compliance.

My take.
Profit for growing companies is usually reinvested into growth. If you’re making large profits early on, you’re probably not investing enough in the future.
When you slow that investment, you’ll get a larger profit if your revenue is big.
Didn’t you work at Amazon? 😉

Because - even if you limit things like instances, you can still get hit with massive bills for egress traffic.

I don’t think that cloud providers provide adequate features around this. Whether it is due to agents, malicious callers, or just a mistake.
By default, there should be cost limits built into every service or account.
