# Simone Desantis
CTO at Openapi building high-performance API infrastructure and taming cloud costs.

## About

Simone Desantis builds high-performance API infrastructure at Openapi. He focuses on untangling complex systems, finding critical bottlenecks, and turning fragile operations into reliable setups.

A data center fire once forced his team into a rapid cloud migration. He learned the harsh realities of auto-scaling the hard way. In his talk on [surviving cloud native transitions](/videos/100111-5-years-in-cloud-native-the-good-the-bad-and-the-bill), he breaks down why on-prem mindsets fail in modern environments. He advocates for event-driven architectures that scale to zero, ensuring infrastructure costs actually match business value.
