FinOps Practitioners know that the best way to optimize a product or service for cost is to design it with cost in mind from the get-go. Organizations that are mature in Workload Optimization are increasingly “shifting left” to design and architect products with adherence to a stated budget. This proactive approach to cost management at each stage of the software lifecycle results in lower operating costs than later-stage usage and spend remediation.
