CloudSlash – Find AWS waste and generate Terraform state rm commands
We've all been there: You find an unused NAT Gateway costing $45/mo. You delete it in the AWS console to stop the billing immediately. But the next time you run terraform plan, it fails because of state drift. Now you have to manually run terraform state rm or import it back to fix the drift. It's tedious, so often we just leave the waste running. I built CloudSlash to automate the cleanup and the state surgery. It’s written in Go (using BubbleTea for the TUI) and solves two engineering problems: 1. Finding "hollow" resources (the graph). Most cost tools just check CloudWatch metrics…

- CYCut your AWS costs by stopping non-production resources when not needed2022 · ▲59
Hello HN community! Sri and Brian here from CloudPal (https://www.cloudpal.io/). We are building a tool to help companies reduce their cloud costs by stopping non-production resources when they’re not needed. The problem: Almost every company on the cloud struggles with cost management. While optimizing production costs can be complex, reducing non-production costs should be a straightforward case of shutting down resources when they’re not in use. However, most companies lack an elegant solution for this. The solution: CloudPal - A downtime scheduler for non-production…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
