We reduced the AWS costs of our streaming data pipeline

You make it sound like there aren’t cookbooks for many of these scenarios and that the company will have to invent these scripts and procedures by hand.

Yes it is work, but this company’s whole reason for being is to save AWS spend, so I assume they have patterns they employ for their clients regularly that achieve their SLO.

There are original-definition cookbooks and yet it still costs me time to provision my own lunch vs using the managed service of my corner restaurant.

Yes, managed services are better in many cases.

Sometimes there are cookbooks, but they are of varying quality and often don't have dedicated resources to maintain them, so I would use them with great caution. You also have to implement them and often maintain the underlying infrastructure.

But I was really responding to the brusque naiveté of the "just write a cronjob" response.
