Ok but we're in a thread about Ubers cloud bills, which are probably well into the 9 figures annually. It definitely gets talked about in board meetings. Global public cloud spend is hundreds of billions of dollars a year. I wouldn't be surprised if it's AWS's marketing team that came up with the talking point about how much more expensive developer time is. Edit: put this another way- wherever you work, you might know what parts of the architecture need some performance work but do you know what parts of the architecture cost the most money?
