This weekend, after Anthropic told Lord Farquad to kick rocks, I decided to try out Claude Code Pro. Wow. I've been using a lot of Amazon Q integrated with VS Code, which was twice as productive as CoPilot. Claude Code is 3x more productive than Amazon Q. It's interesting how much further ahead Anthropic's native tools are when, under the hood, Amazon and Microsoft are both using Claude's models. Using Claude's code was like having a recently certified junior engineer at your disposal. It could use the CLI to query logs and process the results; it uses the CLI directly to implement fixes and diagnose errors. With Claude's help, I took an existing application and over the weekend rewrote it into a new, cheaper-to-maintain app.

After doing some research on the internet I discovered that the place to see the results of AWS EventBridge failures was the CloudTrail logs. Once I started digging in there I discovered that my exception was “Error retrieving subnet information for [1]: The subnet ID '1' does not exist (ErrorCode: InvalidSubnetID.NotFound)”
So I went and edited the rule and cleaned up this error, and started cycling through all of my configuration issues. In the end I created a new SecurityGroup to allow traffic for the ECS containers, specifying the subnets it should use, and insured that it was setup to launch with fargate. Demo:
