AWS Pro Tips
π΅ Use Reserved Instances
For 24/7 workloads, reserved instances save up to 72% compared to on-demand pricing.
π Set Up CloudWatch Alarms
Monitor CPU, memory, and disk usage. Get notified before issues become problems.
π¦ Use Elastic IP
Allocate an Elastic IP so your bot's address doesn't change when you restart the instance.
ποΈ Use RDS for Memory
For enterprise scale, offload Clawdbot's memory to RDS PostgreSQL for better reliability.
AWS Too Complex?
If you don't need enterprise features, simpler VPS providers might be a better fit.
