Ensure you are subscribed to issues. If you are the sort of organized person with folders for e-mails, make a rule for the Drupal.org sender e-mail plus your module machine name in brackets – “[example]” – because that is how issues for your specific module will come to you, and you may want to pull them out of all the other notifications if you promiscuously subscribe to Drupal.org threads like i do.

AWS cluster - works well for an agency that wants to re-sell. Asked them if they can provide the web interface devpanel. An economy of scale thing— one site, very expensive, many, quite good. They would offer this as a service to non-profit organizations specifically, at pricing that is lower than Pantheon, and more forgiving, not jumping to overage. As close to Pantheon as you can get, but with greater flexibility. One little feature they have is the ability to have a set of database credentials, and swap those out between sites, and just switch database credentials— deploy live!

Commands you can run and see your actual AWS costs.

Becoming co-maintainer of a module

First, congratulations on choosing to co-maintain a module rather than creating a new one.

If there are a number of co-maintainers, you may want to exercise some extra caution with some of this advice.
