How Ahrefs Saved US$400M in 3 Years by NOT Going to the Cloud
37Signal wasn’t the first company to complain about the very high cost of cloud and they won’t be the last. Case in point this week is Singaporean company Ahrefs, coming with a real banger and stating that they “saved” $400M in expenses by NOT going to the cloud.

AWS lays off another 9,000
The recent mass layoffs in the industry make for a better scenario to hire cloud talent. Behemoth Amazon, employing about 1.6M people in 2022 will add over 9000 people to that talent pool shortly. CEO Andy Jassy said in a memo to staff on Monday that as part “of the second phase of our operating plan (“OP2”) this past week, I’m writing to share that we intend to eliminate about 9,000 more positions in the next few weeks—mostly in AWS, PXT, Advertising, and Twitch.”

Kubernetes & cloud native operations survey
Admit it, you’ve tried to buy a Raspberry Pi4 now for a long time and have given up. Playing the lottery might be a winning strategy here, so why don’t you try entering the Kubernetes & cloud native operations survey.
