Weekly Podcast 01 (feat. Dieter Matzion, Aditya Datta & Simar Arora) - The state of the industry, database rightsizing and more

Quotes: "Most smaller companies have one person doing cloud financial management with spreadsheets - their efforts are divided between rate reduction (enterprise contracts, reserved instances) and cost avoidance (cloud parking, rightsizing)" "Engineers need to be motivated to execute on the recommendations. Gamify the process." "Everything that we do is serverless, we don't' have any rightsizing opportunity - This is non-sense." "Automation is key, it's always faster than people." "If you're not continuously innovating with the cloud provider on how to provide maximum value to the customer, you will become obsolete." "The point of FinOps is not to save every dollar, it is to get the most out of every dollar." "For databases, parameter configuration is more important than size." "For rightsizing, orphan databases are the best ones to go find and quickly eliminate."
