Each episode takes a single concept — error budgets, toil automation, postmortem culture, capacity planning — and grounds it in a specific case: how a major streaming service reduced paging noise, how a payments platform rebuilt its incident command structure, or how a cloud provider manages multi-region failover. Lucas brings the numbers — latency percentiles, MTTR trends, SLO burn rates — while Luna pushes on the human and organizational trade-offs: What does a junior SRE need to know about on-call? How do you measure reliability without crushing innovation? Why do some blameless postmortems actually work? Together they treat SRE not as a certification topic but as a living practice, citing real outages, open-source tools, and engineering blogs. This show is for engineers, ops leads, and platform teams who already know the basics and want to debate the hard edges: Is 99.999% uptime always worth the cost? When should you deliberately degrade service to improve reliability? How do you design for resilience when your…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T22:18:41.635042+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-site-reliability-podcast-with-fexingo-sre-uptime-and-production-engineering-7871923"},"episode":{"title":"How SRE Teams Use Cost Optimization to Reduce Cloud Waste","slug":"how-sre-teams-use-cost-optimization-to-reduce-cloud-waste","published_at":"2026-07-03T10:22:07+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-site-reliability-podcast-with-fexingo-sre-uptime-and-production-engineering-7871923/how-sre-teams-use-cost-optimization-to-reduce-cloud-waste","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-site-reliability-podcast-with-fexingo-sre-uptime-and-production-engineering-7871923","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-site-reliability-podcast/episode-0088.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-site-reliability-podcast/episode-0088.mp3","summary":"Episode 88 of The Site Reliability Podcast with Fexingo dives into how SRE teams can cut cloud costs without sacrificing reliability. Lucas and Luna discuss the rise of FinOps, the hidden waste in over-provisioned resources, and how Google, Netflix, and Airbnb use committed use discounts, spot instances, and right-sizing to save millions. Learn the concrete metrics—like cost per transaction and idle resource ratio—that turn cloud cost optimization into an SRE discipline. If you're running infrastructure at scale, this episode gives you the playbook to align reliability work with the bottom line. #CloudCostOptimization #FinOps #SRE #SiteReliabilityPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology #GoogleCloud #Netflix #Airbnb #AWS #CommittedUseDiscounts #SpotInstances #RightSizing #InfrastructureAsCode #CostPerTransaction #IdleResourceRatio #CloudWaste Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 88 of The Site Reliability Podcast with Fexingo dives into how SRE teams can cut cloud costs without sacrificing reliability.
