Cloud bills grow quietly. Services get provisioned and forgotten. Reserved instances expire. Workloads that should be on spot instances or object storage stay on oversized compute. This service is a structured audit of your cloud infrastructure spend — identifying what you're paying for, what you're actually using, and what you should restructure.
The reference point for what's possible: I run infrastructure serving over 300,000 monthly active users with over 9 TB of monthly outbound bandwidth at under $10/month in cloud costs. I've also helped a peer development team cut their monthly bill from $900 to under $30 by restructuring their architecture without degrading service. The methodology is replicable.
What's included (audit phase — fixed price):
Inventory of all active cloud resources across accounts and regions
Cost attribution by service, team, or environment (as your tagging allows)
Identification of waste: idle resources, over-provisioned instances, redundant services, orphaned storage
Architectural assessment: where workloads could be restructured for lower cost without degrading reliability or performance
Written report with prioritized recommendations and estimated monthly savings per recommendation
Implementation (hourly, if engaged after audit):
Executing approved architectural changes
Migrating workloads to more cost-effective configurations
Setting up cost monitoring, budgets, and alerts to prevent recurrence
Pricing:
Audit fixed price ranges from $500 to $2,500 depending on the size and complexity of your cloud environment (number of accounts, services, and regions in scope). Implementation work, if you choose to engage it, is billed at $85–$125/hr depending on the nature of the work.
