I almost ordered two pvc plumbing fittings from Amazon last week for $13.99. Thanks to some Hackernews skepticism I cancelled my shopping cart. I found the same fittings at my local hardware store for $8.99.

My question is, how dynamic are Amazon’s prices? Do all users see the same prices or is it more like google search where results are “personalized”? It seems like they could dynamically change prices based on user data pretty easily.

I enabled a task queue to run a longer running task in the background but I didn’t realize there’s a default to retry failed tasks indefinitely. This started slowly increasing my front end instance hours (and my bill). A few hundred bucks later I figured it out and specified a retry attempts limit.

You might want to wait until you have some customers and some traction, but when you are ready, check out Stripe Atlas.

Thank you for the suggestions

Slightly off topic, are there any good books on urban planning? It’s a topic I want to educate myself more on.
