I also faced challenges in managing AWS costs and avoiding unnecessary credit usage. In addition, finding suitable documentation was sometimes difficult because of language barriers and outdated materials. To address these issues, I searched for practical use cases shared by the community, used AI tools to support documentation research, watched hands-on lab videos on YouTube, and participated in FCAJ community events.
