Stop cloud waste. Start saving.
That moment you open AWS Cost Explorer and your stomach drops. We've been there. We fix it. If your cloud bill is bleeding and nobody owns FinOps, we stop the bleed, cut waste, right-size workloads, and install governance.
The moment you realize
It's 10:47 PM. You're reviewing last month's AWS bill. A number stares back at you, 40% higher than forecast. No new features. No extra traffic. Just waste.
You scroll through the line items. EC2 instances you forgot to turn off. Storage buckets filled with debug logs from a test environment that died six months ago. A Lambda function running in three regions when you only ship to one. And suddenly you realize: your cloud isn't a competitive advantage. It's a leaky bucket.
Here's what most FinOps consultants won't tell you. They'll hand you a 60-page report filled with charts. Then they'll charge you another $15,000 to "implement" the fixes. And six weeks later, the waste creeps back in, because no one changed the way your team actually works.
We do the boring thing instead.
We do cost optimization the boring way: cutting waste, not corners. In production. On a budget.
What you walk away with
Cloud cost optimization here is not a report. We embed one engineer with your team for five days. They don't write reports. They write code. They tag every resource, kill orphaned volumes, and set up automated guardrails that say no before your team can accidentally spin up a 32-core machine for a batch job.
- A cloud bill you can actually read: every dollar tagged, tracked, and justified.
- Governance that sticks: automated policies, not manual checklists.
- A team that owns FinOps: we train your engineers to think about cost.
- Savings that compound: we don't just cut waste once. We install a system.
How we do the fix
- 01
Tagging and visibility first
We map every dollar to a feature, a team, or a customer. You'll know exactly what your AI workload costs versus your core platform versus your staging environment.
- 02
Right-sizing AI workloads
Training runs that spin too long. Inference instances that are over-provisioned. Spot instances for batch jobs. We cut without guessing.
- 03
Storage and data lifecycle
Old logs, stale snapshots, duplicated datasets. We tier, compress, and expire. No more paying for data you don't use.
- 04
Committed use discounts and savings plans
We forecast your usage and buy commitments that actually save money, not lock you into waste.
- 05
Automated guardrails
Budget alerts, anomaly detection, and shutdown policies for dev environments. Your team stays agile. Your finance team sleeps better.
- 06
Engineering performance measurement
We use DORA metrics with DevLake to track how cost optimization impacts delivery speed. You see the full picture.

- I'm a founder or CEO. Is this for me?
- You raised money. You're growing. But cloud costs are eating your runway. You need a fix. Now.
- I'm a CTO or VP of Engineering. Is this for me?
- Your team is shipping. But no one owns FinOps. You need visibility, governance, and a partner who speaks both engineering and finance.
- We're a FinTech, IoT, or healthcare startup. Is this for us?
- You handle sensitive data. You can't afford downtime. But you also can't afford to waste money on infrastructure you don't need.
- We're a mid-market organization. Is this for us?
- Your cloud footprint is complex. Multiple accounts, multiple teams, multiple bills. You need a FinOps partner who can handle the scale.
