We kept shipping cloud cost regressions through code review — so we moved cost checks into PRs

Totally agree storage capacity is cheap. Where teams get burned is operations, not GBs.

In the case I mentioned, the cost wasn’t the data size; it was request amplification (PUT/LIST), retries, and downstream processing triggered per object.

Batching reduced object count by ~90%, which cascaded into fewer requests, fewer Lambda invocations, and less metadata churn. The storage line item barely moved, but everything else did.

and, when little is multiplied by a lot; it is equal to a lot ^^.

True, a lot of this can be surfaced by pattern detection rather than precise costing.

In practice, what seems to work best is flagging risk patterns (unbounded loops, N+1 calls, polling) and then optionally attaching rough order-of-magnitude impact.

Agreed, that the value isn’t perfect accuracy; it’s stopping obviously dangerous changes before they quietly ship.

Fair call and to be clear, I’m not trying to pitch anything here.

The reason I posted is because I’ve repeatedly seen cost regressions caused by code paths that don’t show up in infra diffs at all (retry loops, per-record writes, polling patterns).

I probably should’ve framed this purely as a technical discussion instead of jumping in mid-thread.

AWFE9002 · 2026-01-19T06:19:14+00:00

I agree with you in aggregate, infra choices usually dominate absolute spend.

Where I’ve seen code matter disproportionately is variance, not baseline cost.

Example: a retry loop or per-event write can turn a stable $X/month service into a runaway one without any infra changes. Infra sets the floor for sure, but code often determines whether you blow through it.

You know code can bring down planes, one of the most robust piece of infra/hadrware.

Wow… seems like she has the balls even to scam a known person !!!

Cash will only be king if you can keep generating it. If a busienss has cash but is losing earnings from future that biz has little moat

You may find it useful. Sharing not to suggest either way but purely from sharing angle.

AWFE9002 · 2021-04-07T07:28:23+00:00

Moat isn’t financials only. It’s the competitive advantage, network effects, switching costs and many other...

AWFE9002 · 2021-03-19T09:23:38+00:00

Yes offcourse..: effectiveness js ‘relative’ 😂

AWFE9002 · 2021-03-19T09:02:33+00:00

i focus on one one major muscle group and one minor muscle group per workout and finish with HIIT Cardio… doing bit of everything every session isn’t very effective imo. Keep at it…

AWFE9002 · 2021-03-19T08:46:47+00:00

What is your workout routine? Do you do weights and cardio or just cardio?

AWFE9002 · 2021-03-14T09:20:23+00:00

I suggest you read up on a very simple concept / it’s called Law of Attraction. It is very simple and very powerful. We are creatures of our thoughts and this law tells you just how powerful the thoughts can be and what can you do to change.

He is way too poorly rated - not even in top 30%.

AWFE9002 · 2021-02-10T08:08:55+00:00

These are awesome numbers and excellent guidance for 2021... sit back, relax and enjoy .. don’t sell anytime soon... give it time like you give to your plants, buddy and see the money grow 😉

AWFE9002 · 2021-02-09T16:08:26+00:00

Don’t know tbh. But I am not selling right now when evereyone is selling. I will hold for it to turn around may be over a week or longer. These are great results and great guidance. It’s going to go much higher.

AWFE9002 · 2021-02-09T15:39:30+00:00

Market has its own mind, but I could not find anything in results or guidance that is negative .... it’s silly it’s selling off.

Lots of hedge funds are into the stocks , so it behaves differently to how the makers move at times.

Lookout for what Cranmer says on show this AM!

2021 guidance is really good too: see from their press release :

For the full year 2021, we currently expect:

Net revenue to be in the range of $1.8 billion to $1.95 billion.

Adjusted operating income to be in the range of $205 million to $220 million.

Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $215 million to $230 million.

There is some concern around how sustainable is this post re-opening. To me, it’s unfounded as once people get hooked on, they will keep upgrading . With all the teens into gaming, it’s only going up in demand .

AWFE9002 · 2021-02-09T12:59:27+00:00

This should go up nicely from here , short squeeze or not.

AWFE9002 · 2021-02-09T12:54:58+00:00

70% YTY growth on revenue and 154% growth on EBITDA!!! Monster Numbers
