  • Webscraping as a side project

    A friend and I were looking for a side project to work together. We realized we both faced a similar problem. Let's use AWS Lambda Python runtime as an example. AWS will send out emails when a version is at the end of life making it difficult to stay on the latest if desired. Plus, reacting to them usually means you are many many versions behind already. Our journey started. We made a list of providers for the MVP: AWS, GCP and Azure. Then a list of the services that have versions (for example S3 doesn't have versions). After that we realized that we could get some versions using APIs. Other services exclusively require webscraping. We support 46 services and counting. Take a look at Cloud Outdated and subscribe to get notified. If you are looking for a service that's not there contact us. https://cloud-outdated.com/
