ParkMyAWS Is Ready for Beta
ParkMyAWS is ready.
The scheduling works. EC2 and RDS instances stop overnight and start again in the morning. The savings dashboard shows exactly what you’re saving against your normal AWS bill. IAM AssumeRole means no credentials are ever stored on my side.
The product part is done.
Now comes the scary bit
Actually putting it in front of people. Finding out if anyone cares. Watching the first real user connect their AWS account and hoping nothing breaks.
Building is comfortable. You control everything — the code, the schedule, the scope. Launching is the opposite. The variables stop being technical and start being human. Will anyone sign up? Will the onboarding make sense to someone who hasn’t been staring at it for two months? Will the savings show up on their bill?
Opening it up
I’m opening it up for beta this week. If you manage AWS dev or staging environments and want to try it, I’d love the feedback — good or bad.
The first version won’t be perfect. That’s why I want beta users now, before bad decisions get buried under more code.
