When should teams adopt Run cost per service, and when should they avoid it?

Teams should consider adopting the concept of Run Cost per Service when they are aiming to improve cost visibility and accountability within their development and operational processes. This approach allows organizations to understand the financial implications of running specific services, facilitating resource allocation and budget planning.

On the other hand, teams might want to avoid implementing Run Cost per Service in scenarios where the services are highly dynamic, or when the cost data is overly complex to track accurately. Additionally, small teams or startups with limited data tracking infrastructure may find this model burdensome and not beneficial in the early stages of development.

Here is an example of how Run Cost per Service can be implemented:

<?php class ServiceCost { private $serviceName; private $operationalCost; public function __construct($name, $cost) { $this->serviceName = $name; $this->operationalCost = $cost; } public function getCostPerService() { return $this->operationalCost; } public function displayService() { return "Service: " . $this->serviceName . " costs $" . $this->getCostPerService() . " to operate."; } } $service1 = new ServiceCost("User Authentication", 200); echo $service1->displayService(); ?>
