01
Commitment anxiety
Teams stay on costly on-demand pricing because Savings Plans and Reserved Instances feel like a trap. So they leave 50 percent discounts on the table to avoid lock-in that good planning would never cause.
Where the money goes
Three reasons your AWS bill is bigger than it should be
02
Oversized and idle
Instances picked months ago are twice the size they need to be. Old volumes, forgotten environments and dev boxes run all weekend. Nobody has time to hunt it all down.
03
Manual work that never scales
Cost work is never the priority this sprint. Even a dedicated engineer can only revisit commitments once a month, and by then usage has already moved on.
What I optimize
Every lever that moves the bill
Rate and usage, worked together. Cutting the price you pay per hour matters little if half those hours are waste, so I do both.
Commitments, bought right
Savings Plans and Reserved Instances laddered to your real usage, so you get deep discounts without betting the farm on a three year guess. We cover EC2, Fargate, Lambda, RDS, ElastiCache and more.
Rightsizing and Graviton
Match instance families and sizes to what the workload actually uses, and move suitable workloads to Graviton for a cheaper price per unit of work with no reliability hit.
Spot where it fits
Batch jobs, CI runners and stateless services moved onto Spot with safe fallbacks, so you capture up to 90 percent off without risking the workloads that cannot take an interruption.
Idle, storage and data transfer
Shut down what nobody uses, tier cold storage, fix noisy cross region transfer and clean up orphaned volumes and snapshots that quietly bill every month.
Kubernetes and autoscaling
EKS clusters tuned with Karpenter and sensible requests and limits, so nodes scale to the workload instead of sitting half empty at your expense.
Visibility and guardrails
Clear cost allocation by team and service, budgets and anomaly alerts, so the savings stick and the next surprise bill gets caught before it lands.

How it works
From first look to lasting savings
01
Cost review
We read your bill and usage and show you exactly where the money is going and how much is recoverable.
02
Savings plan
A prioritized plan with the quick wins first, the dollar impact of each, and the risk spelled out plainly.
03
Put it in place
We do the work with your team in the loop. Commitments bought, resources tuned, guardrails set, nothing broken.
04
Keep it lean
Dashboards and alerts handed over so your team owns it, plus a monthly check in if you want ongoing eyes on it.
A recent engagement
38 percent off in the first month
A Series B SaaS team was burning six figures a month on AWS with no commitments and a fleet sized for a traffic peak that rarely came. We fixed the commitment mix, rightsized the fleet and cleaned up idle spend, all with zero downtime.

Questions
What people ask before we start
Most teams land between 20 and 40 percent of their cloud bill. The exact number depends on how much you have optimized already. The cost review gives you a real figure for your account before you commit to anything bigger.
