Well what are you doing is ideally lot many engineers should do. But in my experience devs, IT departments, companies are drunk on Cloud Mezcal. So any effort which need effort is "oops thats not our business lets increase instances in Cloud to improve performance" And I am not making this up, A service we are running on ten datacenter VMs, an equivalent service is running on 150 instances of same size in AWS. The cloud service is crappy architected, developed Java application but instead of fixing it , solution is to double/triple or 10 times the instance using Kubernetes Autoscaler. One thing they have going is ever larger budget since it is next gen cloud service, whereas my serivce being plain old efficient Java app is legacy to be deprecated and replaced with new cloud version.
