## What Jamie wrote

Great writeup how Fathom went, service by service, and identified excess costs to reduce. This is a great highlight of why FinOps (financial operations) in technology teams is so critical. The flexibility of the cloud comes with a lot of complexity, and managing the costs associated with that capacity is not trivial.
