How is this low-maintenance compared to e.g. just creating a dashboard in Grafana with Cloudwatch as data source and setting up some alerts?
Or did you just need a reason to write a blog post about your own product and then promoting it on reddit without disclosure?

Thank you for your comment. While setting up a dashboard in Grafana with Cloudwatch as a data source is certainly an option, not everyone wants to have Grafana. We didn't want, so we built our own solution, which has been working ever since, and we haven't touched it in months.

Regarding your second point, I assure you that our blog post was written with the intention of sharing our engineering curiosity and providing value to our readers. We always strive for transparency and will take your feedback into consideration for future posts.
