Right-sizing, reserved capacity, idle resource cleanup, and architectural reviews that find the waste your team missed. $5M+ saved across our portfolio.
Get a free cost auditCloud bills creep. A team spins up infrastructure for a launch, the launch goes fine, the resources stay running. A dev environment that's used twice a week costs the same as the prod environment it mirrors. Reserved capacity commitments expire and renew on autopilot. None of this is anyone's fault — it's just what happens when nobody owns the bill.
We do. In the first 30 days we find the waste — usually 20–40% of spend, often more. The next 60 we eliminate it: right-sizing, reserved capacity optimization, automated shutdowns for non-prod, storage tier transitions, network egress restructuring. The result is a leaner bill and the operational discipline to keep it that way — across whichever cloud providers you run on.
We've found seven-figure annual savings in a single audit. The waste is almost always in three places: oversized instances, idle storage, and dev environments that nobody turned off. Boring stuff, big money.

From audit kickoff to realized savings on the bill
Right-sizing based on real usage. We pull 90 days of utilization data and right-size every workload — not a generic recommendation, an actual fit-to-workload analysis. The savings here alone are usually 15–25%.
Reserved capacity strategy that flexes. Most teams over-buy or under-buy commitments. We model your usage curve and structure commitments so you capture the discount without locking into capacity you'll outgrow.
Idle resource cleanup. Forgotten storage volumes, orphaned snapshots, load balancers with no traffic, network gateways nobody remembers spinning up. Quick wins that add up fast.
Architectural reviews that compound. Sometimes the savings aren't in tactical cleanup — they're in a redesign. Storage tier transitions, network topology rework, replacing scheduled jobs with event-driven patterns. We find the patterns and the path.
FinOps intelligence
Modern anomaly detection on cloud spend catches unexpected costs within hours, not at month-end close. Optional add-on with Cloud Covered, available across providers.
