PostgreSQL: Your Hidden Cloudcost Enabler 😃
Thursday, September 10 at 10:10–10:35
You know your PostgreSQL environment inside out. But do you know what it's actually costing — and why?
PostgreSQL on Azure is priced for technical performance, not for your wallet. Storage that grows but never shrinks. IOPS tied to storage tiers instead of your workload. High availability on by default, doubling the bill. Backups kept for 35 days because nobody changed the setting. These aren't bugs, they're decisions no one made on purpose.
In this session we introduce OptimaSure, OptimaData's Azure FinOps consultancy, combining CloudXcellence tooling with hands-on experience. We walk through the costliest misconfigurations we see in real-world Azure PostgreSQL environments and then go further, with a live demo of CloudXcellence showing hidden cost drivers across PostgreSQL, VMs and your wider Azure setup in real time.
The kind of insight that turns a DBA into the person who just saved the company serious money.
