Looks like my trial period w/ Google has expired in Sept. I start being charged approx. $30 a day for Google Spanner (you have to use it if you use google's RAG). A few ppl didn't catch this charge in time, and had to pay a few hundred bucks. Any suggestion on getting around this? I'm looking for a cost effective way keep dev going.

🚀 Big Announcement In just 10 days (Friday, September 27) we’re officially launching something I’ve been waiting to share with you for a long time. It’s called Shipkit.ai. 👉 You can pre-order today and lock in $100 off before launch 💡 Why I built Shipkit.ai Over the past few years I’ve taught thousands of developers through my YouTube channel (75,000+ subscribers) and inside my community (nearly 10,000 members). I kept seeing the same roadblocks stop good ideas from ever shipping: - Which stack should I choose? - How do I connect all the pieces? - I built a demo on my laptop… but how do I deploy a real product people can actually use? Advice helps, but it isn’t enough. Developers don’t just need tips — they need working projects. 🛠️ What Shipkit.ai gives you Shipkit.ai gives you everything you need to go from idea → production-ready AI app. You’ll start with working templates for the most common AI applications: - AI chat - RAG - ADK workflows Shipkit walks you through each one step by step so you know exactly how to customize and launch it as your own. No guesswork. No dead ends. Just shipping. The course inside Shipkit shows you every stage of the journey: - Idea → Development plan - Plan → Working code - Code → Deployed application in production And at every step, you also get prompt templates that show the AI how to take action for you. These help you move faster and avoid getting stuck so you can focus on shipping real applications instead of wrestling with the process. ✅ Proof it works Shipkit.ai was built with Shipkit. To prove it, I used the RAG template inside Shipkit to build this very platform. That means you’re not just getting theory — you’re learning from the exact system that produced Shipkit.ai itself. The same step-by-step process that takes you from: - Idea → Plan - Plan → Code - Code → Production
