Ive always wanted a AWS Billing Alert with a button like "Stop Everything" - that stops all my processes in case Ive made a mistake.

I also wish AWS offered more protection at say cdk or cloudformation level. A sort of "are you sure you want to do this" on capturing some event

I haven't worked with CDK. I would avoid cloudformation like the plague, aws support for terraform is really good. There were a few "gotchas" regarding RDS, ElastiCache and some other-resources that do counter-intuitive things, but there were workarounds in the past, my guess is that the situation has been improved or at worse... Well use the old workarounds.
