I'm looking for any and all feedback on the idea, webpage, name or whatever!

    I'll start by saying that I like the idea. a lot. I'm curious to see if you're already getting traction with this?

    Now onto feedbacks.

    • I actually really like the simplicity of the webpage. 🙂 The "What" is clear. It would be great to align the bottom of the pricing elements.
    • Given how much volume can get out of CloudTrail at scale, as a client I'd be a bit worried of 1. my Lambda cost exploding. I know it can be negligible...until it isn't. 2. Either my Slack bill exploding or my slack history being wiped out in the free tier.
    • I may have missed it in the feature, but it would be useful to put some watches on terms and such instead of getting the full firehose of events. I remember a pain we had with pushing app logs to Slack was that not everyone in the team is interested in the same thing. So you could envision easy to create/delete channels or threads to allow different teams to only get messages relevant to them.
    • I think you should articulate use cases more clearly, i.e what job is this solving for me as a DevOps/Platform/InfoSec/etc guy. And why shouldn't I have the intern build something like it next sprint instead of subscribing to the service?

    Please don't take any of this as negative, more as different ideas to take/ignore to improve the product.

    Happy coding!

      Thank you for your feedback!

      I have ideas, of course, of Slack not being just the receiver of the "firehose" for sure and I fight the urge to build such features until the first simple (albeit dumb) version is up and running.

      A few concrete use cases on the landing page is a great idea, I should def do something like that!
