Building a quick Reddit Blazor client without Reddit's API

When developing the new exception landing pages we recently launched (like insert exception link here), I wanted to pull some statistics from Reddit. While looking through various ways to integrate, I found an easy approach that I want to share with you in this post.

Great customer experience is easier than you think

Lionel Ritchie thinks Sunday morning is easy. Ella Fitzgerald thinks living is easy when it’s summertime. Loving is easy too, according to Rex Orange County. I haven’t heard anyone sing about customer experience just yet (Alexa?).

A CFO's Guide To Evaluating Cloud Spend

We have a term we like to use when we meet CFOs who have just gotten their biggest AWS bill ever: bill shock. Bill shock is when finance suddenly rings the alarm that the bill is “too high” and gets everyone scrambling to explain what they’re spending money on. It often happens when the bill reaches a new milestone (the first million, ten million, or hundred million) or growth trajectory (it doubled in a quarter!?). The problem with bill shock is that it can be highly disruptive.
