Cost-Optimized Architecture Design

Part of the Cloud Computing Roadmap.

Summary

Designing with cost as a first-class architectural concern from the start — choosing serverless for spiky workloads, right-sizing compute, and using storage tiers appropriately, rather than optimizing cost only after a bill shock.

How to Learn This

  • 1Redesign a hypothetical over-provisioned architecture with cost efficiency in mind.
  • 2Learn to estimate a rough monthly cost for an architecture before building it.
  • 3Practice presenting an architecture decision with both technical and cost reasoning together.
