In this episode, I spoke with Eric Peterson who is the founder and CTO of CloudZero, a leading vendor that helps AWS customers reign in their AWS spending by revealing hidden savings and preventing costly mistakes.
We discussed a range of topics, including common mistakes AWS users make and how CloudZero once saved a customer potentially a million-dollar on CDN bills by alerting them of spending abnormalities early.
We also talked about the trade-off between having cloud cost controls and the cost overhead they add. We talked about FinOps and how CloudZero can understand the unit cost of their own systems and how much each customer costs them because of the pay-per-use pricing model of serverless technologies.
And we discussed the wider economic trends in 2023 and how that might impact companies going forward and how it might change their views on serverless and the cloud more broadly.
