Ask HN: How do you tackle your Cloud Cost Management?

阿新 • • 發佈：2018-12-29

Hello Community, We are a team of engineers and product guys, that have built SaaS products in the past and got bitten too many times with cloud cost surprises which ended up taking too many innovation product cycles not just $$. We believe teams responsible for keeping things up and running are wearing too many hats now more than ever and each of those chipping away at your operational cycles. Our desire is to shift the conversation from tools to workflows for tasks as tedious as (and critical) cost management. Appreciate if you can take sometime to provide your inputs to our Survey Link: https://goo.gl/9y5qY1.Looking forward to the conversation. Thanks.
