Beyond the Cloud Bill: Leveraging AWS FinOps Data and Metrics for Smarter Architecture

AWS FinOps data and metrics are an invaluable source of architectural insights. In this talk, Željko will draw from his experiences to share a pragmatic, data-driven approach to understanding and improving an organization’s technology landscape. He will challenge the reliance on principles and subjective opinions, advocating instead for architectural decisions grounded in real, current data.

Željko will explore how organizations can tap into the wealth of information they already have—from source code and AWS cloud billing reports to incident tickets, financial metrics, and collaboration patterns. Rather than relying on expensive platforms, he will demonstrate how lightweight, open-source tools can transform this scattered data into actionable insights using simple, low-tech components.
