Service 04 · Cloud & cost optimisation

Spend less keeping
your software running.

Server bills grow by accident — a machine left running, a plan nobody downgraded, capacity provisioned for traffic that never arrived. We read the bill line by line, measure what is actually used, and remove the difference in stages.

How this worksService 04
  • No percentage promised before we have seen the bill
  • Every change staged with a rollback
  • No planned downtime — work is scheduled around your service
  • Written findings whether or not you ask us to change anything
§01
What it is

What this actually is.

Nobody decides to overspend on infrastructure. It accumulates: an experiment nobody shut down, a database sized for a launch that went differently, logs retained forever because no one chose a number.

We do not guess at a percentage and we do not promise one. We measure what is used, change one thing at a time, and every step has a rollback so nothing goes dark.

Idle · oversized · duplicated · forgotten — measured, then staged with a rollback

Who it is for

Teams paying more than they need to keep things running

Typical problems we get called about:

  • The bill keeps growing and nobody can fully explain why
  • You are paying for capacity that was sized for traffic you never got
  • Nobody wants to touch the infrastructure in case it breaks
  • Machines are running that nobody remembers creating
  • You have no baseline, so you cannot tell whether a change helped
§02
What's covered

What's included.

You do not have to take all of it. Most engagements start with one of these and grow only if it makes sense.

01

Architecture review

How the pieces fit together now, and which parts are costing more than they earn.

02

Right-sizing

Compute and database capacity matched to measured usage, not to guesswork.

03

Storage, backup & transfer

Reviewed properly — not just compute, which is where most reviews stop.

04

Logging & monitoring

Retention and volume chosen deliberately, with the monitoring you actually need kept.

05

Unused & duplicated resources

Idle, oversized, orphaned and forgotten things, identified and listed.

06

Committed pricing & deployment

Reserved capacity where it genuinely pays back, and deployment automation so changes are repeatable.

§03
How it works

How the engagement works.

Step 01

Read the bill line by line

Every charge, what it is for, and who depends on it. You get this written down whether or not we change anything.

Step 02

Measure what is actually used

Real CPU, memory, storage and transfer over a real period. Right-sizing on guesswork is how outages happen.

Step 03

Plan the change

What moves, in what order, what the expected saving is, and what the rollback is for each step.

Step 04

Change in stages

One thing at a time, verified before the next. Work is scheduled so there is no planned downtime, and each step can be reversed.

Step 05

Verify the saving

The next bill against the original baseline. If a change did not pay, we say so and undo it.

Have something that needs doing?

Describe it in a line or two. You'll get a straight answer about whether we can help and what it would take.
