Built by engineers,
for engineers

// awsomecloud.io · Est. 2023 · Northampton, UK

awsomecloud.io started as a place to write down the things I kept explaining to colleagues — the CDK gotchas, the VPC designs that don’t come back to bite you, the real cost levers nobody talks about in AWS re:Invent keynotes.

Two years later it’s grown into a small but serious publication. Every article is written by a practitioner with production scars to show. We don’t publish vendor-sponsored overviews or “top 10 cloud tips” listicles. If it’s not something we’ve shipped and iterated on, it doesn’t go up.

The site runs on a static build pipeline deployed to CloudFront via CDK (because of course it does). No ads, no tracking pixels, no paywalls.

What We Cover

AWS architecture and services form the core, but the real focus is on decisions — the tradeoffs that don’t show up in documentation. Terraform module design, EKS cost vs. operational overhead, when Lambda becomes a liability, why your VPC CIDR allocation will haunt you.

Occasionally we publish guest articles from engineers with something genuinely new to say. If you’ve built something interesting on AWS and want to write about it, reach out via GitHub or the contact form. We do a real editorial pass and we pay for accepted pieces.
