Tracking cloud costs is difficult for most engineers. It’s hard to connect those monthly bills to specific services, and even when finance shares the data, it often feels disconnected from day-to-day work.

But what happens when engineers get access to cloud cost actionable data? What if engineers understood the cost impact of their infrastructure changes so they can be more efficient without hurting performance?

At Datadog we have been able to create a culture of efficiency, where teams regularly share cost and performance wins for their services, and celebrate each milestone collectively.

In this session, Natasha Goel, will explore how connecting the dots between efficiency, performance, cloud costs, and business value can spark a mindset shift in your engineering organization. You’ll learn how to foster a culture where teams feel accountable for the financial impact of their work, celebrate cost-efficient solutions, and turn cost management into an integral part of building great software.
