I wonder if they could publish dollar cost of that job before and after the optimization, as provided by GCP billing. I know it could be a bit unfair (some costs may be static, regardless of job size, etc.) but it would improve decision making for others if discussions of public cloud usage optimizations also include the cost.
- sbarre 6y agoThey do refer to savings in percentages.. I feel like giving away actual dollar costs would potentially break contractual agreements (because I doubt Spotify pays public list price), and potentially give away competitive information about how much data they have on their customers etc.. I agree with you that it would be interesting to know, I just don't think it's realistic for them to release that information.
