Cloud Cost Review

Best for teams whose cloud bill is climbing faster than their usage
A focused audit of where your cloud spend goes and how to cut it without losing capability.
Cost Optimization
Cut cloud spend without cutting capability. We've led migrations that saved seven figures a year and moved the bulk of traffic onto the CDN. It starts with an architecture and cost audit, then right-sizing, caching, and build-versus-buy calls that pay for themselves.
Signs you might need this
- Your cloud bill grows faster than your usage or your revenue
- Nobody can clearly explain what's driving the biggest line items
- Production-sized resources are running for idle or dev workloads
- Most traffic hits your origin servers instead of a CDN or cache
- You're paying on-demand rates for steady, predictable workloads
- You moved to the cloud for elasticity you rarely actually use
What it is
Cost optimization (sometimes called FinOps) is making sure you get the capability you’re paying for, and stop paying for the capability you’re not. It’s about spending efficiently, tying every dollar of cloud spend to something it actually delivers.
What it isn't
It isn’t slashing budgets until things break, or a one-time cleanup that quietly creeps back next quarter. It’s right-sizing and architectural changes that hold, without sacrificing the performance or reliability your users depend on.
How we work on it
We break your spend down by service and tie it to what it actually delivers, then find the wins: CDN offload and caching to cut origin load, right-sizing over-provisioned resources, commitment plans (reserved or savings plans) for steady workloads, and, when the math favors it, repatriating predictable workloads from the cloud onto on-prem or bare metal.
Every recommendation comes with an estimated dollar impact and the effort to get there, so you cut the bill in priority order without cutting capability. We’ve led cloud-to-on-prem migrations that saved seven figures a year doing exactly this.

FAQ
Common questions
How much can we actually save?
It varies, but there’s usually meaningful waste in right-sizing, caching, and CDN offload, and we’ve led migrations that cut seven figures a year. We start with an audit so any estimate is grounded in your actual bill.
Will cutting costs hurt performance or reliability?
Done right, it often helps. CDN offload and right-sizing remove waste, not capability, and better caching can make things faster while cheaper.
Where do you start?
A cost and architecture audit that maps spend to services, then prioritizes savings by impact and effort, including reserved/savings-plan commitments and build-vs-buy calls.
