CTO Coffee Hour: How to Calculate the ROI of a Scalable AWS Architecture

CTO Coffee Hour: How to Calculate the ROI of a Scalable AWS Architecture

How do you prove that investing in expert AWS architecture isn't just another line item on the budget, but a critical driver of business growth?

We'll explore how to calculate the true, holistic ROI of designing highly scalable and resilient systems on AWS from day one, giving you the tools to justify the investment to your team, your CFO, and your board.
