It seems common sense. Today, you pay for a server with a full stack. Tomorrow, you run just a microservice without that overhead. You will reduce your cost, right? Sorry, Jevon says you are likely to end up spending more, and that you will probably be glad you did! By stepping through IT's history of sprawl and consolidation cycles and weaving 'Jevon's Paradox' into the lessons learnt, this session prepares you for the surprise serverless microservices appearing in your cloud invoices. Learn what to prepare for and which will not work in the microservice ecology.
