Lucas and Luna cut through the vendor noise to examine the real-world strategies behind AWS, Azure, and GCP — from multi-cloud architectures to edge computing and container orchestration. Each episode takes a single infrastructure decision, like choosing a database service or designing for disaster recovery, and traces its implications for cost, latency, and developer productivity. Lucas brings deep technical fluency and a journalist's skepticism toward marketing claims; Luna tests each argument against case studies from companies like Netflix, Capital One, and Adobe. They don't just compare prices — they explore trade-offs in lock-in, compliance, and operational complexity. Whether dissecting a Kubernetes outage or the economics of serverless, the conversation is always grounded in concrete specs and real bills. This is the podcast for engineering leaders and cloud architects who want to make informed bets, not follow trends. But what happens when the cloud giants change their pricing mid-contract? That's exactly the kind of tension Lucas and Luna live inside — and the conversation that will r…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-12T08:17:01.746696+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cloud-computing-with-fexingo-aws-azure-gcp-and-modern-infrastructure-conversations-7871918"},"episode":{"title":"How Cloud Bills Now Charge by the Microsecond","slug":"how-cloud-bills-now-charge-by-the-microsecond","published_at":"2026-06-28T20:37:15+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cloud-computing-with-fexingo-aws-azure-gcp-and-modern-infrastructure-conversations-7871918/how-cloud-bills-now-charge-by-the-microsecond","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cloud-computing-with-fexingo-aws-azure-gcp-and-modern-infrastructure-conversations-7871918","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/cloud-computing/episode-0079.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/cloud-computing/episode-0079.mp3","summary":"Episode 79 of Cloud Computing with Fexingo dives into a quiet but seismic shift in cloud pricing: providers are moving from per-second billing to per-microsecond billing for compute instances. Lucas and Luna unpack how this started with ephemeral GPU workloads on AWS and Google Cloud, why it's spreading to general-purpose instances, and what it means for latency-sensitive applications like algorithmic trading and real-time ad bidding. They cite specific examples: AWS's Lambda pricing dropping to the microsecond level for ARM-based functions, and Azure's new 'burst micro-instances' that bill in hundred-microsecond increments. The episode also explores the hidden cost—monitoring overhead at microsecond granularity can eat into savings if you're not architected correctly. Concrete advice for DevOps teams on when to chase microsecond billing and when to stay on per-second plans. #CloudComputing #AWS #Azure #GoogleCloud #CloudBilling #MicrosecondBilling #PerSecondBilling #EphemeralCompute #GPUPricing #LatencySensitive #DevOps #FinOps #CloudEconomics #Serverless #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CloudInfrastructure Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 79 of Cloud Computing with Fexingo dives into a quiet but seismic shift in cloud pricing: providers are moving from per-second billing to per-micr…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":482,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/cloud-computing-with-fexingo-aws-azure-gcp-and-modern-infrastructure-conversations-7871918/episodes/how-cloud-bills-now-charge-by-the-microsecond/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cloud-computing-with-fexingo-aws-azure-gcp-and-modern-infrastructure-conversations-7871918/how-cloud-bills-now-charge-by-the-microsecond.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
