I buy "servers" online quite often.
When I start a new project, when I need to isolate an environment, when integrating a new customer to a specialised solution - I buy new infrastructure.
Each time I have to research, get the best hardware for the money, make sure I get it quickly enough to remove any delays. But the delay is already there: getting new hardware is cumbersome, each provider has its own quirks. Gotta find the bookmark/credential, have to login (always, with MFA!), get to the corect page/section...
There are times (a lot, as of late) when I need to either scale down* (most often) or scale up (hopefully, when you have more traffic/clients, not due to some bottlenecks...). This means new servers, basically - the old ones are discarded, get new ones. So, let's do this all over again!
So, I created a set of ... tools that help me greatly with this recurring process. Had them on hand, always available and working.
But then, isn't this an issue for everyone that has EVER bought a "server"? It is! Then, let's polish the tools, make them more efficient/streamlined and have them coherently available as a platform for others to benefit.
How should this be called?
Cloud Cost Optimizer <- catchy, no? :)
Good, done, delivered:
* I often scale down the hardware spec for a specific project/platform - for 2 main reasons: deploying constant performance improvements + monitoring the exact scale the user/project needs. Plus, is a personal quest to never over-pay for infra!
