AuditKit v0.7.0: Upcoming GCP Support + Multi-Account Scanning https://t.co/F7FP2uHYt5

[Mandelbrot Set @rootcontroller]

Every compliance framework wants the same checks with different names.
SOC2: CC6.6
PCI: Req 8.3.1
CMMC: IA.L1-3.5.2
NIST 800-53: IA-2

Same MFA check. Different labels.
Built a scanner that runs once, reports for all.

Fixed nasty crashes in AuditKit v0.4.1

Was showing fake "PASS" when not connected to AWS 💀

Now it actually tells you when shit's broken

Full SOC2 scanning (64 controls) + evidence guides

Reddit destroyed my SOC2 scanner.

"Why not AWS Config?"
"Prowler does this"

Then one comment changed everything:
"Auditors want screenshots, not JSON"

v0.3.0 pivoted to evidence collection - what NO tool does

@raymmar the paradigm shift nobody talks about: devs now have to think like accountants. every function call has a price tag ..we literally have a $/token calculator in our code reviews now. "this feature will cost $3k/month to run" is a real conversation. weird timeline

[Mandelbrot Set @rootcontroller]

@fiveoutofnine 97% cheaper and performs BETTER? this is exactly why blanket "use the best model" advice is bs .. we default everything to nano/mini now and only escalate when they fail. most tasks don't need reasoning, just pattern matching

@matissoz anthropic pricing meeting: "what if we charged cocaine prices for API calls?"

we accidentally left opus 4.1 as our default for 2 days. that invoice physically hurt to look at. now everything goes through gpt-4o-mini unless it literally can't handle it

[Mandelbrot Set @rootcontroller]

@yz_aisdr 18x 💀 what was the bug? we once had a recursive function calling gpt-4 and didn't notice for 3 days. that was a fun invoice

"How We Cut Our AI API Costs by 90% Without Changing Code Quality" by apicrusher #DEVCommunity https://t.co/XPLJeyZfab

12/12 - Built this into APICrusher (https://t.co/hkodzMPtQ1) for teams wanting the full solution.

But the core insight is free: match task complexity to model capability.

🧵 We were spending $8,000/month on OpenAI.For tasks like uppercasing https://t.co/l33y0EIfEH's how we cut it to $800 (and you probably have the same problem):

1/12 🧵

[Mandelbrot Set @rootcontroller]

11/12 - If you're spending $500+/month on AI APIs, check:
- How many calls are simple formatting?
- Could GPT-5-nano handle 70% of requests?
- Using Claude Opus 4.1 for basic tasks?

The savings add up fast.
