Infrastructure Cost Optimization

Course overview

Infrastructure cost optimization: managed API vs self-hosting cost comparison, GPU utilization and autoscaling, RAG storage and vector index costs, and observability cost management.

Provides a precise comparison of cost elements between managed and self‑hosted options to inform financial tradeoffs.

Explains GPU operating practices and autoscaling to maximize compute ROI.

Covers sizing and cost of vector indexes/RAG storage and how to run observability without overspending.
