AWS CDK constructs to add common alerting patterns to Lambda/SQS/etc. CloudWatch is capable of a lot, and having some constructs with reasonable default strategies would be use for side projects and smaller start-ups that can't afford some of the providers or have the time to roll it themselves.

Finally getting nomnominees.com into a shape where I can encourage people to use it. Simple webapp that shows you James Beard nominees/winners and Great American Beer Festival winners in a given area. I use it myself when I'm traveling to find places to check out.
