# Cloud cost optimisation | AWS and GCP

> Paying too much for cloud? We review your AWS or GCP setup, find the waste in servers, storage and AI workloads, and cut it without slowing your product.

Your cloud bill went up again. Nobody can say exactly why.

We find the waste in your AWS, Azure or Google Cloud bill, fix it with your team and set up the reports and rules that stop it creeping back.

## Problems we solve

- The bill grows faster than our user base: Finance asks about it every month. Engineering shrugs.
- Test servers run all weekend for nobody: Environments get created and never switched off.
- We bought reserved capacity we don't use: Commitments made on guesses, paid for in full.
- Nobody owns the cost: Shared accounts, no tags and no way to see which team or feature spends what.

## What we build

- Bill breakdown: Spend by service, team, environment and feature
- Right-sizing and cleanup: Idle resources, oversized servers and forgotten storage removed
- Commitment planning: Savings plans, reserved capacity and spot instances based on real usage
- Cost guardrails: Tags, budgets and alerts that flag waste early

## How we work

- Audit (1 week): With read-only access, we break down your bill by service, team and feature and list every saving we find.
- Quick wins (1-2 weeks): We switch off idle resources, right-size servers and clean up storage, with your approval on every change.
- Refactor (3-4 weeks): We change the parts of your architecture that cost the most, like heavy queries, oversized databases or chatty services.
- Governance (2 weeks): We set up tagging, budgets, alerts and a monthly cost review your team can run.

## Results

- Example: Right-sizing review: For example, for a SaaS platform we would find memory leaks, move suitable workloads to Graviton and set up auto-scaling.
- Example: Query cost cleanup: For example, for an analytics team we would tune heavy queries and set rules to archive old data.
- Example: Night-time shutdown: For example, for a store we would add scripts that switch off non-production servers outside working hours.

## Questions

### How much will we save?
We won't guess before we look. The audit lists every saving we find, with the effort and risk for each, so you can decide what's worth doing.

### Will cutting costs hurt performance?
Not if it's done carefully. We base every change on real usage data, make changes in small steps and keep a rollback ready.

### What access do you need?
Read-only billing and resource access for the audit. For changes, a role with only the permissions needed, which you can revoke at any time.

### How do you charge?
You get a written plan and fixed price within 48 hours of our call. For ongoing work, engineers start from $25/hour.
