## 🔧 Technical Details

### Architecture

- **Modular Design**: Separate modules for fetching, metrics, pricing, and UI
- **Error Handling**: Graceful fallbacks for API failures
- **Caching**: Smart pricing cache with 24-hour expiration
- **Full-screen UI**: Rich-based terminal interface

### AWS APIs Used

- **RDS**: `describe_db_instances` for metadata, `describe_reserved_db_instances` for RI data, `describe_pending_maintenance_actions` for maintenance info
- **CloudWatch**: `get_metric_statistics` for storage metrics
- **Pricing**: `get_products` for live pricing data

### Cache System

- **Location**: `/tmp/rds_pricing_cache.json`
- **Duration**: 24 hours
- **Auto-refresh**: Expired cache triggers fresh API calls
- **Manual override**: Use `--nocache` flag to force fresh data
- **Error Recovery**: Corrupted cache falls back to API
