Super long read where I learnt a lot more about capacity planning and cloud costs than I'll ever need to know (hopefully). But the fundamentals and little nuggets of generalizable information make this too good to not share (especially the bits around how this relates to security).
"Whatever detectors you end up writing, I hope you keep a human in the loop. Even if one hour a day of one valuable person's time is spent winnowing the crud, escalating the worthwhile alerts, and automating where it seems good, it will save the rest of your people a lot more. The goal is still to replace yourself with a small shell script. But first you have to get good enough at generating & judging alerts to be worth automating."
