I personally think it's a great case of tipping points, networking effects and branding all working together.

The Instant Pot is a genuinely good product, so it didn't have a trouble finding early users. These people then produced recipes, books and videos not for pressure cookers, but for the Instant Pot specifically. There's 1600+ books for Instant Pot on Amazon, everything from how to cook Keto meals to Indian food. If you have a Breville Fast Slow, and I have a Cuisinart CPC-600 pressure cooker, the cooking times, settings and pressure levels aren't transferable between the two, and may produce quite different results. Hence the networking effect of everyone having the same brand and model of cooker, combined with the tipping point of reaching a certain mass of Instant Pot users, causing an explosion of recipes and guides, which again drives further adoption.

So why don't people create "Breville Fast Slow Pressure Cooker" recipes in the first place? I think it's because of the branding. The Instant Pot name itself is already fun and self-describing, and the marketing downplays the pressure cooking aspects. Pressure cooking has a negative association historically from a safety point of view. So while everyone tries to sell electronic pressure cookers, I think most people who buy this product aren't interested in pressure cookers at all, instead they're specifically getting an Instant Pot. And while technically they may be the same, the customers don't necessarily perceive it that way.

Amazon truly listens to their customers and delivers what they want, even if they have their own competing in-house solution as well. I do think that for new projects, you'll see EKS being the more popular pick over ECS, which never reached quite the same mind-share as Kubernetes.

If you have an existing web service, this appears suitable for actual production usage to deliver features like PDF invoices and receipts, on-demand exports to multiple file formats (PNG/SVG/PDF) etc., which has quite different requirements compared to an automated testing framework.

We're looking for experienced Frontend or FullStack Engineers with modern JavaScript and React experience.

Cloudcraft provides tools for software teams working with AWS. Join our small, 100% remote, engineering team and you will have the chance to make a big impact and take ownership of projects and your own work.

Our ideal candidate is self-motivated, has excellent written and verbal communication skills and has worked professionally with React or equivalent frontend experience. Functional programming and previous experience with AWS services, graphics programming (including games) or SVG rendering are a big plus.

Our stack consists of JavaScript (100% ES6+), with React on the frontend and Node.js on the backend and literally every single AWS service due to our product's unique nature. You'll have the opportunity for a lot of learning and experimenting on the job! We're bootstrapped, profitable and growing. Work from anywhere in the world, we don't care. I'm in NYC. To apply please email jobs@cloudcraft.co with your resume or any links you'd like us to check out, and include "HN - Cloudcraft" in the subject line. No recruiters or agencies, please.

- Unless you have full time DBAs, do use a managed db like RDS, so you don't have to worry about whether you've setup the backups correctly. Saving a few bucks here is incredibly shortsighted, your database is probably the most valuable asset you have. RDS allows point-in-time restore of your DB instance to any second during your retention period, up to the last five minutes. That will make you sleep better at night.

- Separate your prod and dev AWS accounts entirely. It doesn't cost you anything (in fact, you get 2x the AWS free tier benefit, score!), and it's also a big help in monitoring your cloud spend later on. Everyone, including the junior dev, should have full access to the dev environment. Fewer people should have prod access (everything devs may need for day-to-day work like logs should be streamed to some other accessible system, like Splunk or Loggly). Assuming a prod context should always require an additional step for those with access, and the separate AWS account provides that bit of friction.

- The prod RDS security group should only allow traffic from white listed security groups also in the prod environment. For those really requiring a connection to the prod DB, it is therefore always a two-step process: local -> prod host -> prod db. But carefully consider why are you even doing this in the first place? If you find yourself doing this often, perhaps you need more internal tooling (like an admin interface, again behind a whitelisting SG).

- Use a discovery service for the prod resources. One of the simplest methods is just to setup a Route 53 Private Hosted Zone in the prod account, which takes about a minute. Create an alias entry like "db.prod.private" pointing to the RDS and use that in all configurations. Except for the Route 53 record, the actual address for your DB should not appear anywhere. Even if everything else goes sideways, you've assumed a prod context locally by mistake and you run some tool that is pointed to the prod config, the address doesn't resolve in a local context.

The CTO further demonstrates his ineptitude by firing the junior dev. Apparently he never heard the famous IBM story, and will surely live to repeat his mistakes:

After an employee made a mistake that cost the company $10 million, he walked into the office of Tom Watson, the C.E.O., expecting to get fired. “Fire you?” Mr. Watson asked. “I just spent $10 million educating you.”

I don't see any third party Stripe dunning service, did you build something similar yourself? Otherwise it might be worth looking into, it's one of those things that pays itself back in no time.
