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? Many tech leaders find it challenging to quantify the value of high-level system design. They see the monthly AWS bill and the upfront consulting costs, but struggle to connect that spend to concrete business outcomes like faster feature delivery and improved stability. In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the practical framework I use with my clients to move beyond simple cost analysis. 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.

It’s not sci-fi, it’s the direction we’re heading. The question is: what does that mean for how we build, secure, and scale systems right now?
