We saw this very cool “portal” in Ipswich today which is a live two way webcam between town centre locations around the world.

Introducing “Next Best Action” for Premium Users When I built TechFootprint.io, the goal was to make it easy to see where your cloud money goes and what impact it has on your carbon footprint. Over time, the charts and filters have made that picture clearer but the next logical step was to help you act on it. That’s where the new Next Best Action feature comes in.

Discover TechFootprint.io's new Next Best Action feature, offering personalized suggestions to save costs and reduce your carbon footprint.

Optimize AWS Spending: Uncover Your Costs If you manage AWS accounts, you already know how messy the cost data can get. That’s why I built TechFootprint.io to make cloud cost and carbon data understandable. The free dashboard gives you interactive charts for daily spend, emissions, service and region costs, and linked accounts, all filterable by time, service, region, account, and tag. You can view the raw data, export to CSV, or grab a PNG for reports. There’s a lot of insight available for free, it’s worth a look. 👉 techfootprint.io

AWS bills don’t have to be a mystery.
TechFootprint.io gives you clear charts for cost and carbon... free, filterable, exportable.

If you manage more than one AWS account, the cost story gets messy fast. Cost Explorer, CUR, and tags each tell part of the tale, but turning them into a single, explainable narrative takes more time than most weeks allow. I built…

Milestone achieved

For many years now I have always aimed to cycle 2,000 miles per year which I normally achieved with pretty reasonable ease sometime in November. This year I have switched things up a little and managed to tick over my 2k goal…
