Cloud Cost Optimization & FinOps

Stop burning runway on wasted compute. We dive deep into your AWS billing and architecture, identifying massive savings without sacrificing performance or reliability.

The Cost of Architectural Debt

Why your AWS bill is out of control.

Idle & Orphaned Resources

Thousands of dollars wasted on unattached EBS volumes, legacy staging environments, and idle EC2 instances that everyone is afraid to turn off.

Over-Provisioning

RDS databases and EKS nodes running at 5% CPU utilization because they were sized for peak load and never scaled down.

The Data Transfer Tax

Exorbitant NAT Gateway fees and cross-AZ data transfer costs driven by poor VPC routing and lack of endpoint optimization.

How we cut costs by 40%+.

We don't just buy Reserved Instances and call it a day. We act as FinOps Engineers, modifying your actual application architecture to run dramatically cheaper.

  • Graviton (ARM) architecture migrations for 20% instant savings.
  • Kubernetes compute optimization using Karpenter and Spot instances.
  • Egress and NAT Gateway data transfer routing optimization.
  • Automated lifecycle hooks to kill idle staging environments.
  • S3 Storage Class Analysis and automated tiering.

The FinOps Process

How we systematically eliminate waste.

01

Analyze

Deep dive into Cost Explorer and CUR data.

02

Prune

Delete orphaned EBS volumes, IPs, and idle instances.

03

Right-size

Downsize over-provisioned RDS and EC2 workloads.

04

Re-architect

Fix NAT gateways and migrate to Graviton/Spot.

05

Commit

Purchase Savings Plans (only after optimization).

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you charge a percentage of savings?

No. We charge a flat engineering consulting fee. Charging a percentage of savings incentivizes reckless cost-cutting that can harm production stability.

Will this cause downtime?

Deleting orphaned resources causes no downtime. Right-sizing RDS or EC2 requires brief, planned maintenance windows which we script for zero-downtime execution where possible.

Stop overpaying for the cloud.

Book a FinOps audit. We'll identify exactly where you are leaking money and build the engineering plan to fix it.
