A comment on Ask HN: How did you significantly reduce your AWS cost?.
Project 1: We reduced our EC2 bill by about $10k a month by moving to spot instances for our Continuous Integration servers
Project 2: We saved another $10k a month by moving to CloudFront for our downloads, instead of using S3 directly
Project 3: Finding and eliminating waste from years of tech debt. Saved $5k a month so far.
As we go we need to spend more and more time to find the same amount of cost savings, it's a law of diminishing returns.
