Infrastructure Cost

Consolidating a serverless microservice stack into a monolith cut Prime Video infrastructure costs by more than 90%. Microservices cost more than an equivalent monolith. Architecture cost should be evaluated quarterly against measurable benefits. Microservice architectures can require around 25% more compute than comparable monolithic architectures. Distributed observability can cost between $50,000 and $500,000 per year. Service mesh sidecars can consume up to 90% of a pod's CPU and memory.
