Hmm… theoretically this is more efficient, however in practice you may end up with a dirty cache… I guess that’s fine if you don’t mind corruption of your coworkers.
I don’t understand how anyone uses a paid API for a personal project. I looked hard into MS, Google and Amazon a few years ago for a project and couldn’t find anywhere where you could hard block services to never ever go above the free tier.
Considering that I’ll build a project and forget about it for years, putting in my credit card into a cloud service was a guaranteed gigantic bill sometime in the future when things went wrong. (Over your life, something is guaranteed to go wrong.)
Have you heard of virtual debit cards? You can’t charge what’s not there.
Also, at least AWS will in fact send you an email when you approach the end of free tour usage.
Having said all that, most devs can host the few hundred visits they might get over a month with a $200 home server and a free CloudFlare cache if they know what they’re doing.
All cloud providers will support budget notifications. That doesn’t do much good when you shoot past the budget in a short timespan. I set a Google cloud budget of $20/month and enabled a Tensorboard instance, which had no observable indication that it cost anything except the base cost of the VM, and got notified that I was $280 over budget the next day. Apparently there was an upfront $300/month/user fee for Tensorboard. (Several months later they changed the pricing model to $10 GiB/month with no user fee.)
This is a semi-good LPT. You can save a lot of time and grievance by just not folding your clothes and throwing them into piles (inside boxes or drawers, preferably) by type (socks, underwear, shirts, etc). Bonus tip - if you have a spot where dirty clothes keep piling up (used to be bedroom for me), just put a laundry basket there (in the exact spot you discard your dirty clothes).
If you hate doing laundry, get a dryer and do this, it will make it so much easier. It becomes transport your basket from your aggregation area, dump it in the washer, throw in a random amount of whatever washing thing around, set an alarm on phone, throw it in the dryer, second alarm, take it to your usage pile(s). Turns laundry from tedious into barely a chore.
I recently upgraded to the new GE all in one washer dryer. Removes a massive step of having to move clothes between dryer and washer. Toss em in, and 2 hours later they’re done. Best part is they can be tossed in before bed and ready in the morning for work!
