Cur.vantage.sh – AWS Billing Code Lookup Tool
Hi HN, We're the team behind Vantage and ec2instances.info and wanted to share a new microsite we're launching. We profiled the number of distinct AWS billing codes across our customer base and found that there are about 60,000 unique ones. We hear all the time that people are confused about the billing codes present in Cost Explorer or the Cost and Usage Report. Think of these as being things like “Requests-Tier1” for S3 or “CW:GMWI-Metrics” for CloudWatch. There is usually really limited resources for determining what these billing codes are and the AWS documentation isn't always fully…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, We're the team behind Vantage and ec2instances.info and wanted to share a new microsite we're launching. We profiled the number of distinct AWS billing codes across our customer base and found that there are about 60,000 unique ones. We hear all the time that people are confused about the billing codes present in Cost Explorer or the Cost and Usage Report. Think of these as being things like “Requests-Tier1” for S3 or “CW:GMWI-Metrics” for CloudWatch. There is usually really limited resources for determining what these billing codes are and the AWS documentation isn't always fully helpful. Over the span of the last two months, our team decided to build https://cur.vantage.sh/ - a new microsite for looking up these billing codes and attempting to explain in simplistic terms what these billing codes are and how you're charged. We have written content for a number of services and the site is still in progress but we decided to put it live and start getting feedback. Let us know what you think and if there is anything else that can be helpful on a site like this. Please have mercy as we're trying to share this early to get thoughts.

- SASee AWS Costs for Each Resource2022 · ▲8
Link: https://www.vantage.sh/features/per-resource-costs Hi HN, I'm Co-Founder and CEO of Vantage and we just made "Per-Resource Costs" available to everyone, including users in our free tier. Vantage will now show you the cost of each individual AWS resource (EC2 instance, RDS instance, S3 Bucket, SNS Topic, Lambda Function, etc). You can drill down into each resource to see subcategory costs so imagine seeing specific egress costs being tied to a specific Cloudfront distribution or EC2 instance. This works by Vantage ingesting and processing Cost and Usage Reports from…

Hey HN: I'm Kaveh, the founder of Usage (https://www.usage.ai/) We help companies drive down AWS costs. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. Stakeholders, especially engineers, are required to spend unnecessary time manually finding underutilized or overly expensive EC2s. We believe the optimization process should be done automatically through a series of sophisticated algorithms. At the moment, there are over 70,000 AWS EC2 prices - doing that manually just won't scale at most organizations. My background is in software engineering. Previous to founding Usage, I…

I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…

i wanted to change the habit of reaching for my phone in the morning and doomscrolling away an hour so i built an app to help me. now i have to literally touch grass before accessing my most distracting apps the app is built in swiftui, uses the screen time apis provided by apple and google vision to recognise grass or not i'd love to get your thoughts on the concept.
