#2We've been using Vantage for a few months now and it's a really great layer on top of the AWS console. I particularly like the correlation of the metrics right in the dashboard - makes light-weight DevOps real easy.

#3I got a demo of Vantage recently and being able to build dashboards for each environment (eg dev, staging, prod) seems really useful

#4At DigitalOcean (where I didn't overlap with Ben) we obviously thought a lot about how to improve the DX around interacting with cloud resources, both GUI-based and programmatically. Great to see someone taking that idea to its natural next step :)

#5Hi HN,
Vantage is an alternative to the AWS console focused on developer experience and cost transparency. My background is in public cloud where I was the product lead for DigitalOcean’s Droplet product and at AWS on the container services product management team. Our team is 100% bootstrapped with two technical co-founders and a designer.
Vantage is ReadOnly by default and is meant to work alongside your existing automation tools. We aim to help address two problems: (1) navigate and organize resources across multiple AWS services, regions and accounts in an intuitively designed experience and (2) show where your costs are coming from in a simple manner. Some of our users have described us as “Mint.com for AWS accounts.”
In the future we are looking at automated recommendations to save you money, help identify orphaned resources and get into deployment of applications. In addition, we look to add support to other public cloud providers. For example imagine seeing your bandwidth usage on S3 and being able to automate a Cloudflare integration. Or see your Heroku and AWS resources in one place and get comparisons across providers.
This post represents our first official “launch” and we are eager to collect feedback. Please have mercy :)
Feel free to contact me directly at ben@vantage.sh if I can be helpful to you in your infrastructure journey.

Looks nice! Surprised something like this hasn't come out sooner. The AWS UI is a hot mess. Good luck.

#10I use Vantage and it's definitely a good product and all but the real value is every hour you don't have to spend using AWS directly.
I would pay _so_ much money to never have to use Cloudwatch and AWS Cost Management again. Thankfully, I qualify for the vantage free tier for quite a while longer.
