Stop Burning Money on Cloud. Start Engineering Your Spend.

Most companies overspend on cloud by 30-40%. We find the waste, fix the architecture, implement automated governance, and build a FinOps practice that keeps costs optimized permanently. Not a one-time audit that gets ignored.

For engineering leaders whose cloud bill is growing faster than revenue, who can't explain cost spikes to finance, or who suspect significant waste but don't know where to start.

The Problem We Solve

Your cloud bill grew 40% last year but your traffic only grew 15%. Nobody can explain the gap.
Engineers provision resources but nobody reviews if they're still needed 6 months later.
You have no tagging strategy so you can't attribute costs to teams, products, or customers.
Reserved instance purchases are based on guesswork, not data, and half of them are unused.
Your Kubernetes clusters are over-provisioned because nobody trusts the autoscaler.
Finance asks for cloud cost forecasts every quarter and engineering produces them by guessing.

What's Included

Cloud cost audit: line-item analysis of your AWS/GCP/Azure spend with waste identification and savings opportunities
Right-sizing analysis: compute, database, cache, and storage instances analyzed against actual utilization data
Reserved instance and savings plan strategy: commitment-based discount planning using historical usage patterns
Spot and preemptible instance integration: Karpenter spot pools for Kubernetes, spot fleets for batch workloads
Tagging and allocation strategy: cost attribution to teams, products, environments, and customers
Kubecost deployment: per-namespace, per-deployment cost visibility inside Kubernetes clusters
Infracost in CI/CD: cost estimates in every pull request before infrastructure changes are applied
Automated waste detection: scheduled reports for idle resources, unattached volumes, oversized instances
FinOps dashboards: Grafana or native cloud dashboards showing spend trends, forecasts, and budget alerts
Monthly cost reviews: recurring optimization sessions with your team to catch drift and identify new savings

Engagement Process

01

Cost Audit

Full spend analysis, utilization review, savings opportunity report. We show you exactly where money is being wasted.

02

Quick Wins

Immediate savings: right-sizing, unused resources, reserved instances. Typically 15-25% reduction in the first month.

03

Structural Optimization

Architecture changes for long-term efficiency: autoscaling, spot instances, storage tiering, and workload scheduling.

04

Ongoing Governance

Kubecost, Infracost, dashboards, monthly reviews. Costs stay optimized permanently, not just until the next hire spins up an oversized instance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can we actually save?
Typical first-pass savings are 25-40%. We've seen up to 60% for companies that have never done cost optimization. We identify specific dollar amounts before starting.
Will optimization affect performance?
No. We right-size based on actual usage data (P95 CPU/memory over 30 days), not guesswork. If utilization data shows you need the resources, we don't touch them.
Is this a one-time audit or ongoing?
Both options. The initial audit and quick wins are a one-time engagement. Ongoing governance (monthly reviews, dashboards, Infracost in CI) is available as a retainer.
Can you help with Kubernetes cost optimization specifically?
Yes. Kubecost for per-namespace cost visibility, Karpenter for right-sized node provisioning, resource request/limit tuning, and namespace quotas. Most K8s clusters we audit are 40-50% over-provisioned.
Do you work with our finance team?
Yes. We translate engineering cost data into reports that finance understands: cost per customer, cost per transaction, unit economics, and budget forecasts.
