Challenge
A growing software company sees AWS spend rising faster than revenue, but the team cannot easily connect cost to workloads, customers, or product activity.
Implementation approach
- Analyze AWS billing, tagging, idle resources, storage, environments, data transfer, logs, and workload usage.
- Separate growth-linked cost from waste, then identify rightsizing, lifecycle, reserved capacity, and architecture opportunities.
- Create a reporting model so leadership can understand cost drivers and engineering can act without slowing product work.
Outcome
The company gets practical cost reduction actions, better cloud spend visibility, and an operating model for ongoing FinOps discipline.
