🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A real-time community-driven status dashboard that aggregates user-reported latency for specific AWS services by region.
  2. A diagnostic CLI tool that automatically tests STS connectivity and latency against multiple endpoints to identify regional outages before AWS status pages update.
  3. An automated alert system that notifies DevOps teams when STS response times exceed a user-defined threshold.
