It’s Christmas and I just finished my last audit of a SaaS client. His story is worth telling. It’s a story about greed, lies, and the beauty of hacking.
It’s a story about how this client cut his monthly AWS bill by 90.000 USD with help of a mysterious developer, which disappeared once his job was done.

When, 6 months later, AWS costs sky-rocked again to around 120K$ a month, this client called me to help him understand what really happened.
And it was absolutely mindblowing!
