Managed services (like managed databases or Kubernetes) take away the headache of maintenance, but they often mask underlying inefficiencies. Cloud providers design their default configurations for ,
Use Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to cache data closer to users and keep as much traffic as possible within a single availability zone or region to avoid "inter-zone" transfer fees. 3. "Managed" Doesn't Mean "Optimized"
