Cloud production promises flexibility and scale, but the monthly bill tells a more complicated story. Users, vendors, and technologists break down the real economics: compute and egress costs, SaaS and licensing models, managed services versus DIY, and budgeting for live-event spikes. As vendor dependencies deepen and subscriptions multiply, how can sports-media organizations build smarter, more sustainable cloud economics without sacrificing performance?
