We're struggling to manage our cloud costs while ensuring our development teams can maintain their speed. It seems like every time we try to optimize, it comes with drawbacks like slower pipelines or added workload for developers. We've already done the basics: rightsizing, autoscaling, and moving workloads to cheaper regions. The big question is: how can we keep infrastructure costs low without getting in the way of our devs' workflow or morale? I'm interested in any strategies or tools that have worked for you, whether it's a cultural approach, automation, or other solutions!

To solve this, you could try a couple of strategies: 1) Keep track of unutilized resources and delete them, 2) Optimize your infrastructure thoughtfully, and 3) Think cost-effectively when designing your applications from the ground up. Getting it right from the start can significantly help down the line.
That makes sense! But when things scale up, it can get pretty messy, don’t you think?
