Apr 16, 2025

The further along you get in your data journey, the more costs become a factor.

Not JUST for your company...

But also for your own ability to contribute effectively as an individual engineer. 

Because a big part of engineering is being efficient - both technically and financially.

 

So in this week's video we're going to cover some of the most common pricing structures found in the modern data landscape.

By the end, you'll be more aware of the implications of these costs and can be more prepared to lead your team or contribute at a higher level.

 

Key Topics We'll Cover: 

  1. Understanding where the biggest costs come from
  2. Additional costs outside of the database
  3. The biggest cost of all (not tools)

 

Enjoy!
