Optimizing costs is great—until it breaks production. Align FinOps with reality, not just reports.

#FinOps isn’t just for finance teams— The #DBA has a huge role to play in cloud cost optimization. Shoutout to the FinOps Foundation for the framework! Here are 5 FinOps capabilities DBAs can start using today: fortified.com/top-5-finops...

Cloud infrastructure spending more than doubles in the third quarter of 2024 With shared cloud dominating 62% of total spending, AI-driven infrastructure investments are redefining enterprise strategies globally.

The #cloud is cheap. Said no one. Ever. www.networkworld.com/article/3805...

Why DBAs Must Have a Seat at the FinOps Table | Fortified The DBA is rarely included in FinOps decision-making. This is a costly oversight, one that leaves organizations struggling to manage one of the most complex and expensive components of their cloud sta...

#FinOps is all about collaboration. But if #database teams aren’t included, organizations risk making cost decisions that hurt performance (and budgets). Let’s bring DBAs into the FinOps fold—here’s how: fortified.com/why-dbas-mus...

Moving to the cloud without optimizing your database first is like packing up your entire junk drawer when you move houses. Why pay to store inefficiencies? Clean it up before you go. #FinOps #CloudOptimization

Tracking cloud costs is a great first step—but true FinOps is about optimization, not just visibility. The real savings come from fixing inefficiencies at the source.

Why is it that every "FinOps Cloud Report" focuses on "gaining visibility" into cloud spending but rarely on optimizing the actual systems driving those costs? #FinOps #CloudComputing

#SaaS teams move fast to ship features, but how often do they think about the long-term cost of that code? Scaling efficiently isn’t just about performance—it’s about keeping cloud costs in check. How are you approaching this? #FinOps #CloudCosts

Choosing cloud providers, AI services, and data platforms is a balancing act—cost vs. flexibility. What’s your strategy? And have you hit any surprise cost traps? 🤔💸 #FinOps #CloudOptimization

Economic turbulence ahead? Now’s the time to get your tech stack in order. Cloud waste, bloated infra, and runaway costs won’t fly when budgets tighten. Smart #FinOps today = resilience tomorrow. #CloudCostOptimization

#Cloud data costs are skyrocketing. Managing retention, tiering, and egress is key to keeping AI workloads accessible without breaking the bank. #FinOps

Building a #SaaS? Cool. Ignoring cost-efficient code? Not cool. What feels fine at 100 users will punch you in the wallet at 10,000. Optimize now, or pay (a lot) later. #FinOps

Came to Bluesky looking for ideas, people, and conversations around #FinOps. Turns out, there’s a lot to unpack—cost control, performance tuning, breaking down silos. The challenge isn’t just understanding the numbers, it’s getting everyone to care about them.

Who else is thinking about this?
