FinOps & Cloud Optimization

AWS Cloud cost optimization product for a startup

Companies migrating to the AWS Cloud have no tools to effectively manage costs. They would like to:
Automatically tackle “quick wins” of cost savings
Achieve non-stop monitoring and savings
Strong ROI and easily communicable results
Savings across regions, business units, availability zones and developer accounts
100’s of different native services used by developers – hard to separate mission-critical components from “pilot” ones

Architected and developed the product, launched it with beta customers and transferred over to client once stability and milestones were achieved
Designed a flexible menu of “savers” that a customer can use – e.g.
Remove idle users from QuickSight
Archive EBS volumes that haven’t been accessed for 90 days
Move IO instances from gp2 to gp3
The team continues to develop new “savers” based on latest AWS guidance to keep driving ever-greater savings opportunities
Developed standardized reporting of weekly / monthly savings

Established firm as a leader in its target market
Flexible design allows client to keep building more automated “savers”
Customers need no additional resources / investments to manage product
Client has used product to grow rapidly from $0 to $30M in revenue with significant market share
Customers see 10-20%+ savings on their AWS Cloud spend bills
Focus on low-hanging savings with zero risk and minimal downtime improves the overall sales and delivery process
Build-Operate-Transfer model enabled client to go from concept to launch in a fraction of time otherwise required
