this makes me feel like I got my CSS knowledge from a museum. I had no idea bout :is and color-mix. The possibilities 🤯

As a small company with a global footprint we couldn’t do what we do without a cloud platform taking care of a lot of things for us. As nice as it’d be to ditch the cloud or even support local data centers it would slow us down drastically

For example we had a database that had a 300GB table we didn't use while the entire remaining database was only maybe 20gb. And we had 30 days of backup retention for some reason, as in 9TB in backups. Also had a 2TB dynamodb table of which we only used 0.3%!

oh lol disregard the current day! I should've trimmed that from the screenshot. Got like a 50% reduction maybe by just cleaning up things that have "grown" over the years but didn't serve much of a purpose. Also routing more of our traffic through cloudfront which has cheaper egress!

Is this lazy? maybe. Does it work? Oh yeah!
