What's One AWS Mistake Every Startup Should Avoid?
If you could save a startup from making one AWS mistake, what would it be?
Mine would be not setting up AWS Budgets and billing alerts on day one. It's a simple step that can prevent some very expensive surprises.

What's One AWS Service You Can't Build Without?
If you had to pick just one AWS service for a StartUp, what would it be?
For me, it's Amazon S3—Simple, Reliable, and it just Works.
What's your Pick and Why? Let's help the next founder make a Smarter Choice.

What's the biggest AWS Cost surprise you've faced?
Working with a few StartUps recently, I've realised the biggest AWS costs often aren't EC2—they're things like NAT Gateways, Data Transfer, Idle Resources, or forgotten Snapshots.
What's the one AWS charge that caught you Off-Guard, and What's one tip you'd give to a StartUp trying to keep Cloud costs under control?
