Sidechain Ops IQ: Cloud cost optimization doesn’t have to mean cutting corners – it means getting smarter

We’ve been there. Like many companies after the Covid pandemic, adopting public cloud seemed the prudent thing to do. Little did Sidechain know, this would be a very sharp double-edged sword – one that cut deep into our financial and engineering resources, but that created an unexpected outcome as well. Turns out, by adopting some of the principles of “FinOps” in our cloud management routine, we were able to come to peace with our cloud costs. We understand them, and they are deliberate. Additionally, we have a better framework for making cloud utilization decisions.  Since then, we’ve run this framework and automation for other customers, and while the savings have been striking, a more important discovery was made: everyone is overpaying for cloud.

We were, our customers were, and likely, you are too.
