Summary
Cost optimization is a continuous effort from application inception (from proof of concept to implementation and post-production). You need to review architecture and cost-saving efforts continuously.
In this chapter, you learned about the various design principles to optimize costs. Before making any purchase decision, you should consider the total cost of ownership for the entire software or hardware life cycle. Budget planning and tracking forecasts help you to stay on the cost optimization path. Always keep track of your expenditures and look for possible opportunities for continuous cost optimization by managing demand without affecting the user experience or business value.
You learned about various cost optimization techniques, including reducing architectural complexity by simplifying enterprise architecture and setting a standard that everyone can follow. It’s recommended to avoid duplication by identifying and consolidating idle and repeated resources...
