20-30% Real Savings

Our clients consistently achieve 20-30% cost reductions without compromising performance, targeting high-impact optimizations for immediate savings.

Beyond the Bill: What AWS Inefficiency Really Costs You

Showing actions that causes a high AWS bill

Operational Paralysis

Your team fears touching the infrastructure that "works," keeping you locked in wasteful patterns while competitors evolve.

Forgotten Resources, Forgotten Patches

Those unknown, idle resources aren't just billing waste—they're unpatched vulnerabilities waiting for attackers to exploit.

Growth Handcuffs

When cloud costs make you hesitate to grow, you're letting inefficiency dictate your market potential and innovation pace.

Innovation Drought

Every dollar feeding inefficient infrastructure is stolen from new features, talent acquisition, and competitive advantages.

How we achieved 60% AWS Cost Reduction for one of our clients

Here's a case study of how we helped one of our E-Commerce clients dramatically reduce their AWS spending while maintaining application performance.

The Challenge

This e-commerce client was struggling with escalating AWS costs, spending $4,878 per month on average with peaks approaching $6,000 during busy periods. Their AWS infrastructure had grown organically over years without proper oversight.

"We knew we were probably overspending on AWS, but we had no idea how much money was being wasted until the assessment revealed the shocking truth."

What We Discovered

We did a combined Security review and cost optimization assessment that uncovered over 50 findings, including numerous infrastructure inefficiencies that were silently draining their budget:

  • 19 redundant Classic Load Balancers routing to just 2 EC2 instances — we consolidated into a single Application Load Balancer with targeted listener rules, eliminating 95% of load balancing costs
  • Severely overprovisioned computing resources with 3 RDS instances and 9 EC2 instances operating at a mere 20% capacity — we right-sized to match actual workload demands while maintaining performance
  • Massive backup sprawl with over 900 outdated snapshots consuming costly storage — many from long-terminated resources with no retention policies in place
  • Cost-inefficient storage configuration with numerous EBS volumes still using legacy gp2 volumes — we upgraded to gp3 for both cost savings and performance improvements
  • Forgotten RDS read replica running at full cost despite receiving zero application traffic — these were identified and safely decommissioned
  • Abandoned ElastiCache cluster silently consuming resources 24/7 with no active workloads — eliminated completely after confirmation it was no longer needed

The Result: 67% Monthly Cost Reduction

These optimizations resulted in slashing monthly AWS costs from $4,500 to $1,500 — a 67% reduction without compromising performance or reliability.

Is Your AWS Account Hiding Similar Savings?

Most AWS environments contain 20-60% of wasteful spending that could be eliminated without affecting performance. Our specialized assessment can detect the issues your team may have overlooked.

Our AWS Optimization Process

From assessment to implementation, we deliver measurable cost savings without compromising performance

Step 1 • Timeframe: 1-2 days

Discovery Assessment

Our tools scan your AWS infrastructure to identify inefficiencies, security gaps, and cost-saving opportunities with zero impact on your production workloads.

Step 2 • Timeframe: 3-5 days

Findings Report

You'll receive a comprehensive report highlighting all discovered issues, prioritized by impact and ROI, with clear recommendations for each item.

Step 3 • Timeframe: 1 week

Strategic Planning

Together, we'll develop an implementation plan that aligns with your business priorities, minimizing disruption while maximizing financial impact.

Step 4 • Timeframe: 2-3 weeks

Implementation

We execute the agreed optimizations, carefully testing each change to ensure your applications remain performant and secure.

Step 5 • Timeframe: Following billing cycle

Verification & Measurement

We track before-and-after metrics to quantify your savings and provide documentation for stakeholders, typically showing 30% monthly cost reduction.

How AWS Cost Optimization Approaches Compare

Most AWS cost-cutting approaches leave you with either vague recommendations or suggestions that might compromise your workloads. Here's how our engineer-led service stands apart:

AWS Engineering Expertise

DIY Approach: Limited to your team's knowledge
Finance Consultant: Strong on finance, weak on AWS architecture
Our AWS Engineer Service: AWS-Certified engineers with hands-on implementation experience

Implementation-Ready Recommendations

DIY Approach: General best practices without specific steps
Finance Consultant: Recommendations without technical implementation details
Our AWS Engineer Service: Precise, executable changes with configuration specifics

Technical Understanding of Workloads

DIY Approach: Limited to whoever is doing the analysis
Finance Consultant: Focuses on numbers, not workload requirements
Our AWS Engineer Service: Evaluates performance needs before recommending changes

Focus on Performance Preservation

DIY Approach: Often leads to over-cutting resources
Finance Consultant: Prioritizes cost over performance considerations
Our AWS Engineer Service: Balances cost savings with maintaining application performance

Step-by-Step Implementation Guidance

DIY Approach: Generic AWS documentation only
Finance Consultant: Leaves implementation to your team
Our AWS Engineer Service: Detailed guides with AWS CLI commands and console instructions

Frequently
asked questions

What makes this different from AWS's built-in cost tools, and what size environments do you support?
AWS tools surface spend, but they stop short of engineering guidance. We pair cost analytics with hands-on CDK and infrastructure expertise to recommend safe changes. Clients range from $3K to $500K+ in monthly spend—we tailor the playbook to your architecture and growth stage.
How much access do you need, and how do you keep our account secure?
We start with a temporary read-only IAM role to analyze usage. If we implement fixes, permissions are scoped to the targeted resources, time-bound, and fully logged. You can revoke access at any time.
Will optimization impact performance, and do we have to apply everything at once?
Performance comes first. Every recommendation includes impact analysis and rollout guidance. We deliver a prioritized roadmap so you can tackle quick wins immediately and phase in larger changes when it suits your schedule.
What if we already bought Reserved Instances or Savings Plans, and how fast will we see savings?
Most clients with commitments still unlock 15–20% extra savings by right-sizing coverage. Many actions—removing idle resources or resizing instances—show up on the very next bill, while portfolio tuning typically pays back within 1–3 months.
How do you charge, and can you manage costs long term?
Choose between a fixed-price assessment with implementation guides or a success-based engagement tied to verified first-year savings. After the initial project, we offer subscription FinOps support with recurring reviews, anomaly detection, and new optimization opportunities.
