Pages like https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing use a JSONP request to get a big messy chunk of pricing data. I have parsed that, and serve it with a custom API that does the calculations from the Cloudcraft backend to the React-based frontend.

However, AWS just announced a proper pricing API! Check out https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-price-list-api This will make life much easier, it does however not yet cover all services, for example ElastiCache is still missing while Cloudcraft already serves pricing for it.

Yup, that JSON is the response from the endpoint I'm referring to. Congrats on shipping!
