Architecting for Cost

Finance can't fix your cloud bill. Your architecture caused it, and only architecture decisions can change it.

Architecting for Cost is a self-paced video course for software architects and engineering leaders. You'll learn to read a cloud bill as a design document and treat cost as a design constraint, right beside availability and latency.

Then you'll work through the decisions that drive the number: multi-tenancy, data movement and egress, and AI inference. You'll finish knowing how to make the cost case to the people who fund the change.

8 modules and 33 video lessons with readings, plus 8 worksheets and templates you can use on your own systems. About three hours of video, and 5–8 hours to complete, plus time applying the tools to your own architecture.
