I just find it extraordinary that the biggest tech company in the world can do cutting edge real time AI for millions of people, run Youtube and of course all the other google services with having literally the smartest people in the world and unlimited resources on board, but still can't keep real time track of the user's current billing and their spending limits, it's all best effort still. Somehow it doesn't add up. (Pun not intended, but I'm happy to have it)

- siva7 6mo agoNot just Google, also Microsoft and Amazon. Real-time cost tracking is technically impossible to solve according to the major cloud providers. I have huge respect for those sales & finops engineers.
- Barbing 6mo agoNot just tech companies, telecommunications too. Poooooor AT&T, goodness it's hard to know how much data they just sent to us. Hard twenty years ago, just as hard today.
- aisaasbuilder 6mo agoTechnically impossible for them because real-time attribution cuts into margin. Config-layer tracking does not have that constraint. You do not need real-time billing data if you know from the agent config that it is going to explode before it runs. That is the distinction Traeco is built on. traeco.dev
