Beyond the Bill: What AWS Inefficiency Really Costs You
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- Massive backup sprawl with over 900 outdated snapshots consuming costly storage — many from long-terminated resources with no retention policies in place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.
Individual service cost breakdown: EC2 and RDS costs (blue and purple) were reduced by 60% after optimization.
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:
