When it comes to your cloud spend, how confident are you that every dollar is doing real work? Could you put a number on what percentage goes on the idle, overprovisioned, or forgotten resources quietly draining your budget?

Your developers could be the untapped resource you need to track – and reduce – cloud spend. With a deep understanding of internal systems, they’re uniquely placed to build cost awareness into architecture and workflow decisions – yet in most organizations they’re shielded from the bill. With 62% of developers asking for more responsibility over cloud spend, the challenge for engineering managers is providing the culture, guardrails, and tooling that empower developers to reign in mounting costs.

In this webinar, our panel discusses what it takes to shift cloud cost ownership left: the strategies for baking cost visibility into workflows, where savings can be automated, and how to foster tighter partnerships between engineering and finance to optimize cloud spending without sacrificing on delivery.

Key takeaways:

  • How to build cost-aware habits into everyday engineering work
  • Leveraging visibility and automation to empower developers to cut cloud costs
  • Breaking down the siloes between finance and engineering for greater cost awareness
