Amazon’s Prime Video cut 90% of its cloud costs by migrating from serverless to a regular containerized architecture ⚡

This migration teaches us one of the most essential lessons in Software Engineering. Adopting something just because it is new and fancy might not be the best design choice.

Key takeaway: Fancy ≠ Efficient.

It is easy to build fancy systems, but challenging to build simple, efficient, and cost-effective systems.
