Rightsizing with evidenceArchitecture-aware savingsCommitment planning
Where savings hide

Go beyond deleting idle resources.

Sustainable savings come from understanding workload behavior, business constraints and how each service contributes to the bill.

Compute efficiency

EC2 and container rightsizing, autoscaling behavior, Graviton suitability and scheduling.

Data services

RDS sizing, storage classes, snapshots, backup retention and data-transfer patterns.

EKS economics

Node utilization, requests and limits, autoscaling, Spot strategy and workload placement.

Pricing commitments

Savings Plans and Reserved Instance coverage, utilization, sizing and renewal risk.

Deliverables

A savings plan engineers can act on.

01

Baseline

Map spend by account, service, workload and environment, including unexplained changes.

02

Validate utilization

Connect cost to performance and operational telemetry instead of relying on billing alone.

03

Prioritize actions

Document estimated savings, engineering effort, risk, prerequisites and rollback needs.

04

Implement guardrails

Apply approved changes and introduce ownership, budgets and recurring cost reviews.

A prior optimization engagement reduced monthly AWS spend by approximately 38% ($3,200 per month). Details are anonymized under client confidentiality; outcomes vary by environment.

Bring the bill. Leave with priorities.

A focused first review can identify whether the biggest opportunity is waste, architecture, commitments or missing cost ownership.
