cloudfalcon··on OpenAI lists official plugin for financial data and portfolio analysis
What was the submission process like? You're a small startup so I'm curious to learn about what Open AI saw in your team to put you in the early batch of plugins
cloudfalcon··on Launch HN: JumpWire (YC W22) – Easily encrypt customer data in your databases
What's the risk to your business of other data security companies (like BigID) offering this kind of functionality?
cloudfalcon··on Will $2B be enough to reign in the Twitter censorship regime?
The release clearly states: "that people should be able to speak freely on the platform within the bounds of the law."

Your bulk-label idea is definitely interesting.

cloudfalcon··on Show HN: A Better Alternative to the AWS Console
Hi Kaveh, congratulations on the launch. Is filtering by tag currently available (cost allocation and non-cost tag)? I definitely think you should add support for tracking other AWS services ASAP, as long as one can drill-down to the request level (e.g., GetObject).
cloudfalcon··on Will Cloudflare R2 Win Customers from Amazon S3?
I'm following good form. No silent edits were made. There has been an Author's Note in that paragraph the entire time since the change acknowledging the miscalculation.
cloudfalcon··on Will Cloudflare R2 Win Customers from Amazon S3?
Cloudflare R2 is topical right now - that was the motivation. Not saying it was the right strategy to do so (clearly not given the mistake).
cloudfalcon··on Will Cloudflare R2 Win Customers from Amazon S3?
They are right. We addressed the comment and fixed the article.

You're right. This is a silly mistake on my part in rushing out this piece. I apologize. Thanks for pointing this out -I've since taken out the paragraph.
cloudfalcon··on Will Cloudflare R2 Win Customers from Amazon S3?
Hi, I'm LV, I wrote this post. I co-founded Taloflow to make choosing cloud vendors transparent and easy.

I'm curious to hear what factors HN readers think I missed and if you think Cloudflare R2 will be a threat in the cloud object storage market place.

cloudfalcon··on Cloudflare R2 storage: Rapid and reliable object storage, minus the egress fees
Having done hundreds of TCO analyses for customers moving object storage providers, this seems like it carves out a very interesting niche for Cloudflare. R2's higher storage costs (roughly triple) also make it a more manageable threat to specialized solutions like Storj DCS, Wasabi and Backblaze B2.

At Taloflow (https://www.taloflow.ai), (disclosure: I'm the CEO/Cofounder) we provide buying insights for cloud object storage (and soon other IaaS/PaaS). We will definitely be adding Cloudflare R2 to the mix.

cloudfalcon··on Moving AWS Glue jobs to ECS on AWS Fargate led to 60% net savings
Hey HN, we had this question pop up about how we moved our AWS glue jobs from Fargate to ECS on our last post, so wanted to follow up to answer that question.

This might be helpful for anyone thinking about a similar migration. If you have any questions / comments let us know.

cloudfalcon··on We reduced the AWS costs of our streaming data pipeline
Hi Corey! I'm the author of the blog post - I definitely agree with you. 9 times out of 10 engineering teams underestimate cost of engineering work as well as opportunity cost lost due to managing non-core functionality internally or moving away from managed services.

For us our pipeline was actually easier to work with Flink than Glue because of the restrictions that Amazon placed on it and so that factored into our decision.

cloudfalcon··on Grafana Labs raises $24M
we do this too at Taloflow.ai we basically deliver a managed version of Grafana (rather than a proprietary UI) for our AWS cloud spend management tool. we work primarily with devs, and they tend to love and work with Grafana already, so this was a no brainer at our startup.
