What You'll Save with AWS Cost Optimization
Quantified outcomes from 100+ cost optimization projects. Not projections—actual average results.
First Quarter Average
Time to ROI
Optimized, Not Degraded
Sustained Long-Term
Every Tool and Technique for Maximum AWS Savings
We combine AWS native tools with custom automation to find and eliminate waste across your entire AWS environment.
Comprehensive Cost Audits
Deep dive into your AWS spending using Cost Explorer, Trusted Advisor, and custom analysis. Identify overprovisioned resources, waste, architectural inefficiencies. Detailed report with projected savings by category before implementation.
Spot Instance Strategy
Pay 70-90% less for fault-tolerant workloads. We design spot instance strategies for batch processing, containerized apps, and stateless services. Automated fallback to on-demand ensures reliability.
Database Cost Optimization
RDS instance rightsizing, Aurora Serverless for variable workloads, read replica optimization, backup retention policies. We cut database costs 30-50% without impacting performance.
We Actually Cut Costs—Not Just Recommend Ideas
Most consultants provide reports. We implement changes, track actual savings, and keep costs optimized long-term. Average client saves 30-40% in first quarter.
100+ Cost Optimizations Delivered
We've cut AWS costs for startups, SMBs, and enterprises across every industry. Typical savings: 30-40% within 90 days. We know exactly where waste hides and how to eliminate it without impacting performance.
Savings Guaranteed Before Implementation
We show you projected savings by category before touching anything. Track actual results against projections. If savings don't materialize, we refine the approach until they do. Transparent and measurable.
Automated Cost Governance
One-time optimization isn't enough. We implement automated rightsizing alerts, budget monitoring, anomaly detection, and monthly reviews. Your costs stay optimized as usage evolves—not just for 90 days.
No Performance Trade-offs
Cutting costs by degrading performance is easy. We optimize without compromise: rightsizing based on actual usage data, architectural improvements that reduce costs while improving performance, smart use of reserved instances and spot.
AWS-Certified Cost Experts
Solutions Architect Professional, DevOps Engineer Professional—our team holds top AWS certifications and uses Cost Explorer, Trusted Advisor, and custom tooling daily. We know AWS pricing inside and out.
How We Optimize Your AWS Costs
Four-phase process designed to find savings fast, implement them safely, and keep costs optimized long-term.
Cost Discovery & Analysis
Complete AWS spending audit. Analyze every service, region, account. Identify overprovisioned resources, waste, inefficient architectures. Interview your team about usage patterns and business constraints. Output: detailed savings report with projected ROI.
Optimization Strategy & Roadmap
Prioritize opportunities by savings potential and implementation ease. Design rightsizing plan, reserved instance strategy, automation approach. Create phased rollout schedule that minimizes risk. Get your approval before implementing changes.
Implementation & Validation
Execute optimization plan in phases. Rightsize instances, implement shutdown schedules, purchase reserved instances, optimize storage tiers. Continuous monitoring during changes. Validate performance remains excellent. Track actual savings vs. projections.
Ongoing Cost Governance
Monthly cost reviews with new savings opportunities. Automated alerts for anomalies or budget overruns. Quarterly optimization sprints as usage evolves. RI/Savings Plan renewals managed proactively. Your costs stay optimized as you grow.
Real Results from AWS Cost Optimization
These aren't projections—they're typical outcomes from our cost optimization engagements. Most clients see ROI within 60-90 days.
30-40% Average Cost Reduction
Typical savings within first quarter through rightsizing, reserved instances, waste elimination, and architectural improvements. Sustained long-term through automated governance.
Zero Performance Impact
Cost optimization without degrading performance. Many clients see improved performance post-optimization through better instance selection and architectural refinements.
Ongoing Cost Control
Monthly reviews, automated alerts, continuous rightsizing recommendations. Your costs stay optimized as usage patterns evolve, not just for the first 90 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our cloud consulting services and solutions.
How much can we really save on AWS?
Most companies overpay by 30-40%, so that's our typical target. Savings come from rightsizing (20-30%), reserved instances (40-60% on steady workloads), killing waste (5-15%), and architectural improvements. We show projected savings before implementation so you know what to expect.
Will cost optimization hurt performance?
Not if done correctly. We rightsize based on actual CPU, memory, and network usage data—not guesses. Many clients see improved performance post-optimization through better instance type selection and architectural refinements. We never degrade performance to save money.
How long until we see savings?
Quick wins (killing zombies, shutdown schedules): 1-2 weeks. Rightsizing and optimization: 4-6 weeks. Reserved instance savings: immediate once purchased. Most clients see 60-90 day ROI including our fees. Ongoing governance ensures savings compound over time.
What's included in ongoing cost governance?
Monthly cost reviews with new savings opportunities. Automated rightsizing alerts. Budget monitoring and anomaly detection. Quarterly optimization sprints. RI/Savings Plan renewals managed proactively. You always know where money's going and how to save more.
Do you handle multi-account AWS organizations?
Absolutely. We optimize across all accounts in your AWS Organization. Consolidated billing analysis, cross-account resource sharing where appropriate, per-account cost allocation, centralized governance policies. We've optimized organizations with 50+ accounts.
Can we implement recommendations ourselves?
Yes. We provide detailed implementation guides if you want to handle changes internally. Most clients prefer we implement (faster, less risk), but the choice is yours. We're flexible on engagement model—audit only, implementation, or ongoing management.
