From the replies, expect a *lot* of cutting down on infra costs to happen at startups that are not profitable. There are other cost optimization directions, but CTOs are likely to look much, much closer at the cost/return for infra-related vendors, and how they can cut down.
Startups looking to conserve runway are asking staff to to cut back on unnecessary costs. What spending have you seen tech startups cut back on, and what types of vendors might be at risk of seeing less usage?

Well, Talent .io reached out asking if I can help promote their consistently-below-the-market salary report. I obviously can’t. Trust salary numbers at your own risk. I’ve said it before and will say it again: these salary reports only survey the bottom tier of the market.
My first proper video in close to 9 months is coming tomorrow to YouTube on software engineering salaries in the Netherlands, with close to 500 data points. I couldn't resist interpreting (aka roasting) Talent .io's salary report. Subscribe to my channel here to not miss it:

The best hires are ones who can (and do) punch above their weight. The best workplaces hire considering potential into account and try to ensure there's space for people to grow.
