Show HN: CreditHero – extend your AWS free credits

Yeah! I’m going to deploy my app, with all my users data, to a random account controlled by someone else I’ve never met and have no relationship with. And the best bit is it will be a nightmare to switch in the future!

Hi HN!<p>AWS free credits are great - until you run out of them. This can force startups to go out of business, or at least to rebuild with a different cloud provider.<p>At the same time there are lots of startups who never use all of their AWS credits. Why not share?<p>CreditHero deploys your stack into the AWS account of another participating startup with low usage. You effectively get extra credits, and they get more usage that allows them to claim more credits.

Is there any limitation to this in terms of AWS&#x27;s T&amp;Cs?

I&#x27;m a little concerned about the possibility of using this to get another company&#x27;s AWS account banned (e.g. by misusing SES).<p>Do you think this is a reasonable concern?

Many products offer a managed service that runs in your AWS account. I don’t see how this is any different.
