I work for a tiny startup and while things are good, we are prioritizing reducing cloud costs as well. Our bill is relatively tiny right now, but as we grow it’ll become a bit more unsightly. Best to do it now and get that over with!
- moonchrome 4y agoAt a tiny startup I'd be more concerned about selling product/delivering to get the next round and keep the company running than saving few 100$ on infra cost.
- delfinom 4y agoNot every startup is funded by VC vultures that set aggressive timelines
- moonchrome 4y agoDeadlines don't matter - if you're in a startup you're trying to test the market fit and iterateing to corner the market. Worrying about micro optimizing infra cost and talking about scaling in this context in my opinion is premature optimization - root of all evil.
- vrosas 4y agoThis, and cloud security, have become my niche at my small company. Keeping these things tidy now will save us so much headache later. It's a bit of a battle fighting product for time but these are hills worth dying on imo.
- markus_zhang 4y agoInteresting. I wonder how one learns it. I guess I first need to jump to a full Cloud admin position to learn on job.
- vrosas 4y agoI don't really have a secret. I just have 8+ years experience with one cloud provider across 4 different companies as an SDE, so I've seen all the highs and lows that come with using it. Current company keeps bugging me to take some certs but doesn't seem worth the effort..
- markus_zhang 4y agoThanks, I guess I just need more experience. But first let me move to a real cloud admin position...
