Score Breakdown
Heuristic ranking from public discussion signals — not a validated prediction of commercial opportunity, demand, or willingness to pay.
Composite 64/100 (High, unvalidated). Top driver: Willingness to pay (30% weight, 22.5 pts).
Heuristic only — often urgency map or random scaffolding on ingest, not measured mention frequency. Maps to XPS relevance (with market size).
LLM/mock judgment of intensity from title/summary text — not ops or ticket data. Maps to XPS quality (with willingness to pay).
LLM/mock purchase-intent guess from text — not invoices, surveys, or paid seats. Maps to XPS quality.
Heuristic/scaffold (often random or fixed on insert) — not a verified mention trajectory. Maps to XPS novelty.
Heuristic/scaffold (often random or fixed) — not TAM research. Maps to XPS relevance (with frequency).

“Mistakes I've Made in AWS We use memory safe languages, type safe languages. AWS is not fundamentally billing safe.<p>Just to give you nightmares. There's been DDoS in the news lately, I'm surprised nobody has yet leveraged those bot nets to bankrupt orgs they don't like who use cloud autoscaling services.<p>I don't know how you monitor it, part of the issue is the sheer complexity. How do you know what to monitor? The billing page is probably the place to start - but it is too slow for many of these events.<p>I guess you could start with the common problems. Keep watchdogs on the number of lambdas being evoked, or any resource you spin up or that has autoscaling utilization. Egress bandwidth is definitely another I'd watch.<p>Dunno, just seems to me you'd need to watch every metric and report any spikes to someone who can eyeball the system.<p>For me? I limit my exposure to AWS as much as I reasonably can. The possibilities combined with the known nightmare scenarios, with a "recourse" that isn't always effective doesn't make for good sleep at night.”
