Enterprise Power, Open Source Savings
On October 20, 2025, AWS US-EAST-1 suffered a critical DNS outage in DynamoDB — taking down Snapchat, Reddit, banking apps, and thousands of services for over 6 hours.
I build modern Windows Enterprise environments that scale, secure, and perform — but I never overpay. By strategically selecting free, open source software, I reduce licensing costs by up to 60% while maintaining full control, compliance, and reliability.
