It is also not a very hard skill. You do a back of the envelope calculation and if your proposed architecture is crazy expensive for your reasonable load, then you have to figure out if you are a special snowflake or just doing it wrong.
- viccis 1y agoThis is correct. It's really more of a mindset than anything. You take a guess at how much something will cost based on a quick calculation (good cloud providers make this easy, some cough Databricks cough just use a black box and bill you whatever they feel like) and then once you test it at a small scale, you verify that it's as expected and continue to monitor.
