You can set a spend limit per project on the paid plan, starting at $20 per month, and adjust your limit as your project grows.

RT @ke4qqq: Kyle, this is a classy move. Thanks for doing this! AWS re:Invent isn't at the same time or area, but we're setting aside 100 complimentary passes for folks with cancelled GHC registrations. While re:Invent isn't a replacement for GHC, I also hope that it will give folks a chance to connect Nov 30-Dec 4th, in Las Vegas. Please email aws-ghc@amazon.com
