Who it's for
Startups and small businesses whose AWS bill has crept past ~$5k/month without anyone owning it. If the invoice is a mystery and your last cost decision was "we'll look at it later", this is the fastest money you'll make this quarter.
What I do
- Line-by-line analysis of your last three months of spend (Cost Explorer and CUR data)
- Find the idle resources, oversized instances, unattached storage and zombie environments. In my experience EC2 and RDS are usually the worst offenders, but every account has its own surprises
- Check the architecture for structural savings: serverless, spot, storage tiers, data-transfer traps
- Model savings plans and reserved instances against real usage. I do commitments last, deliberately. Locking in a bad architecture just makes the waste cheaper
- Implement the safe, reversible wins immediately, with your sign-off
What you get
- A written report with every finding priced in dollars per month
- A prioritised roadmap: quick wins → structural changes → commitments
- The quick wins already implemented and verified
- A 30-day follow-up check to confirm the savings landed
