Hi there! I'm sorry to hear you're not enjoying your Dog Honey® experience. Here are some suggestions for you:

  1. Take a breather. Everyone loves Dog Honey®, but we all need a break from time to time! Try something relaxing like yoga, meditation, or even just a lazy day in front of the TV. 📺

  2. Stay calm. When you're experiencing issues with your Dog Honey®, the worst thing you can do is to get agitated. I know it sounds tricky — but it really will help!

  3. Accept that Dog Honey® might not be for you. Sometimes products just aren't your thing — and that's okay! You could consider checking out other products such as Gerbil Marmalade, Rabbit Mustard, or M3 Flanged Head Phillips Self Tapping Screw 14mm (Pack of 10).

Follow these simple steps and you'll be sorted in no time. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with! 🙂🙂

100%. They bill it as "you don't have to pay a guy to run your on prem hardware for you" but you absolutely do not save money once you've scaled to the point you need a few machines.

And by that point, your software is probably so tied in to proprietary Amazon stuff that they've got you in a vice.

It's the same model as Oracle: oh we're so easy to use and friendly, and we have all these great Oracle specific features, go ahead and use them! 😊 but then they have you locked in and they can just start squeezing.

Going "your personal blog" mode: I don't like the bespoke names like "Route 53", but at least a lot of AWS makes sense? There are very few things I've come across (as someone toes-deep into AWS) that seem like a horrible engineering mistake made at Amazon.

If I were to build an intranet for the internet and divide everything into tiny little separately-billable services, I'd do it a lot like this.
