We evaluated 3 log aggregation tools in 2023: Splunk, Datadog, and Loki. Splunk: $8,000 per month, powerful, way too expensive Datadog: $3,200 per month, great UI, still expensive Loki: Free, integrates with Grafana, good enough Picked Loki. Two years later it still just works. 3.1K views · 55 likes · 3 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

We scaled from 5,000 requests per minute to 50,000 requests per minute in 4 days. What worked: - Application servers: fine, auto-scaling worked - Database: fine, read replicas handled it - Redis: fine, cluster mode saved us What broke: Our third-party email provider.

@brankopetric00 Why do you call SQS a boring technology? 1.8K views · 9 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@brankopetric00 SendMessageBatch packs 10 messages per API call, so at 4M a day you bill 400k requests instead of 4M. Boring and cheaper. 1.6K views · 8 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

We built our notification system on SQS instead of Kafka in 2023. Everyone said we would regret it. Kafka is the standard. SQS does not scale. Two years later: We process 4 million notifications per day on SQS. Our monthly bill is $180. Kafka would have cost us $2,400 per month 168.8K views · 1.9K likes · 85 reposts · 74 replies Open on X →

@brankopetric00 NAT gateway makes no sense at all for that. Some of these stories sound fake. You have too many of them to be real. 840 views · 7 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@brankopetric00 the sneaky part of nat gateway pricing: it bills by the hour, not by the packet. worth checking what else in the account is metered on uptime instead of actual use. 566 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@brankopetric00 that works out to about $150 an hour of package downloads. the meter runs whether anyone is watching or not. 582 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

We were paying $2,400/month for a NAT Gateway in AWS. All it did was allow our private subnets to download packages from the internet during deployments. Deployments happened 4 times per day. Each took 8 minutes. We were paying $2,400/month for 32 minutes of traffic per day. 17.8K views · 181 likes · 9 reposts · 14 replies Open on X →

I told Claude: "write 5 tweets about my landing page" It just did it. Built an MCP server for OpenTweet that connects to Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code. Create tweets, schedule batches, upload media, check analytics, all from a chat prompt. https://t.co/53dRTdIVXo 10.6K views · 35 likes · 1 reposts · 11 replies Open on X →
