London Cloud Leaders #6 - Cloud (for almost free): A Startup Survival Guide

Presented by Prism Digital

Join us for the next edition of London Cloud Leaders, an exclusive roundtable for senior Cloud and DevOps leaders focused on building smarter, leaner platforms. This time, we’re zeroing in on a question that matters more than ever: how do you build in the cloud when your budget is close to zero?

This session will be led by Patrik Ohlson, Senior Engineering Manager at Snyk. Patrik will share real-world tactics for running meaningful cloud workloads with minimal spend, drawing from his experience scaling infrastructure at companies like Apple, NBCUniversal, and Sky. We’ll explore how to leverage free credits, generous free tiers, and low-cost providers to launch and grow viable platforms without compromising quality.

Expect sharp insight, open discussion, and a practical take on why lean cloud architecture is not just a constraint, but a competitive advantage.
