AWS costs: Services

This will be a series about AWS services and their price from a developer’s perspective.

Build team-wide, deep understanding of each feature’s requirements and characteristics before coding starts
Expect collaborative, comprehensive grooming of features that include team and stakeholders
Ruthless slicing of features to smallest valuable increments
Write comprehensive automated unit tests in front-end and back-end layers
Shoot for high coverage from automated back-end integration tests

Include automated smoke tests that can be run on production-candidates
Ensure all post-commit tasks and hand-offs must be automated in CI/CD
Strive for quick, reliable rollback if smoke tests fail
