Introduction


SkyScraper is an innovative visualizer dashboard that transforms the way developers interact with AWS performance data, starting with EC2. By offering a streamlined, intuitive interface, SkyScraper optimizes the retrieval, organization, and visualization of performance metrics, enabling users to manage their AWS environments effectively.

Leveraging Auth0 and AWS Cognito for secure user authentication, SkyScraper ensures safe data retrieval using AWS credentials, with multiple security checkpoints to maintain data integrity and privacy. The application abstracts complex configurations, presenting clear and actionable insights that empower users to monitor instance activity, identify optimization opportunities, and make informed decisions to minimize costs and enhance performance.

Designed with a focus on clarity and aesthetics, SkyScraper features custom themes that provide a visually pleasing user experience. Data is categorized and displayed through modern charts and graphs, allowing users to quickly identify trends and anomalies. By turning complex data into easily understandable insights, SkyScraper revolutionizes AWS performance data management, making it more efficient and accessible for developers.
