Return of The Frugal Architect(s)

Dr. Vogels has just announced on his website the “Return of the Frugal Architect(s).

Last year during my re:Invent keynote, I introduced The Frugal Architect, a set of seven simple laws for building cost-aware, sustainable, and modern architectures. The response was overwhelming. Builders connected deeply with the idea that constraints—whether physical or self-imposed—can drive creativity. They force us to understand our systems intimately, to challenge past decisions, and uncover the small efficiencies that add up to significant savings.

Today, I’m relaunching The Frugal Architect with expanded content: sharing the stories of AWS customers who are innovating to optimize their architectures for cost and sustainability.

OK, so a podcast! This is really nice to see, and a natural progression for the site, which is a really lovely resource. There are already two podcasts recorded and published on the site, along with expanded content and more to come.

Hey, all! Time for an #introduction post. I've been on Mastodon for quite a while as @greenexpanse, where I started because of my interest in the Welsh language. I live in Olympia, but am a Washington native. I work as a solutions architect, but in my spare time I can be found being a trail maintainer, gamer, book reader, sci-fi geek, technologist, leader, a Welsh and Irish language learner, and much more. #Welsh #duolingo #SciFi #SolutionsArchitecture #technology #OlyWA #Azure
