I Followed the Official AWS Amplify Guide and Was Charged $1,100

A few months ago, I was adapting an official guide for an AWS service. Specifically, integrating OpenSearch with Amplify. I worked through the guide, and modified and debugged it for my own purposes. A few weeks later, I received an AWS bill for over $1200, and almost had a heart attack. I hadn’t selected the most expensive OS instance type. I hadn’t even used it much at all.
