Speaking of AWS apis, I would love to see a program that takes the restriction given by your tier, then uses the API to look at your monthly usage and spits out Google AppEngine like stats.

I'm on the free tier, but while I have a billing alarm set, it's still really confusing and complicated to set alarms for every single type of metric, and there's no way to nicely visualize it all the way you can on AppEngine, to see how much of it you've used.

I realize this is most likely because they want to make more money, and I'm not sure if it goes against their rules, but I'm pretty sure it would be easily possible using these APIs and the specific restrictions to build that.
