How can data pipeline monitoring contribute to cost optimization in cloud environments?

Data pipeline monitoring contributes to cost optimization in cloud environments by identifying and mitigating resource inefficiencies. Monitoring tools provide insights into resource utilization, helping optimize compute, storage, and network resources based on actual demand and usage patterns. By identifying underutilized or over-provisioned resources, organizations can right-size their infrastructure, reducing unnecessary costs while ensuring performance and scalability. This proactive approach to resource management helps optimize cloud spending and maximize ROI.
