Sound familiar?
If even one of these points applies to you, a cost check almost always pays for itself.
Your AWS bill keeps climbing every month — but nobody can explain exactly why.
Your team gives you numbers, but no root causes. Cost drivers remain hidden.
You're paying for Reserved Instances that haven't been used in ages.
A smart purchase years ago, forgotten today. A classic blind spot that costs money every month.
Data Transfer costs are exploding — even though your traffic hasn't increased.
Usually it comes down to the architecture between regions or unfavorable NAT configurations.
Your DevOps team is buried in day-to-day operations and never gets to optimization.
For your team, cost optimization is a two-month project. For us, it's routine.
Get your AWS costs under control — in 3 clear steps.
Audit
We analyze your AWS setup.
You give us read-only access. We review your billing, architecture, and usage patterns — without disrupting your operations. No changes to running systems, no downtime.
Report & Plan
You receive a written action plan.
A prioritized list of all identified savings opportunities with estimated figures, implementation effort, and risk assessment. Plus: clear recommendations on what you can implement yourself and where we should step in.
Implementation
We implement — or guide your team.
Either we handle the optimization at a fixed price (typically 2-8 weeks), or we coach your internal team. You decide what works best.
What your project could look like.
Every company is different — but typical cost check projects follow a recurring pattern. Here's an anonymized, representative example from our day-to-day work.
Starting point
Mid-sized media company, ~80 employees, AWS bill around 12,000 €/month, steadily rising. Internal DevOps team (2 people) saw the numbers but couldn't find time for a structured analysis.

after implementation
Unused Reserved Instances from a previous project were still running, costing around 2,800 € per month.
The architecture between two AWS regions was causing unnecessary Data Transfer of approx. 1,100 € per month — a simple routing fix solved the problem.
Oversized EC2 instances were running at 5% utilization nights and weekends. Rightsizing + scheduled shutdown saved another 1,500 € per month.
Figures anonymized but representative of typical findings in our cost checks. We analyze your specific setup individually.

Is the AWS cost check right for you?
We work best with clients where we can make a real difference. That's why we're upfront about who the cost check is for — and who it isn't.
It's a good fit if ...
- Your monthly AWS bill is over 2,000 €
- You want clarity about your cost drivers — not just invoices
- You're willing to give us read-only access
- You're looking for sustainable optimization, not just quick wins
- You have decision-making authority or a direct line to the decision maker
It's not a fit if ...
- You're looking for the cheapest provider on the market
- You want pure implementers without strategic consulting
- Your AWS bill is under 1,000 €/month — the savings potential is often too small to justify the effort
- You expect generic "cloud magic" without giving us access to your setup
Frequently asked questions
That rarely happens in practice — in 95% of our audits, we find optimization potential of at least 15%. Should your setup already be truly optimal, you'll still receive a documented architecture and security review that serves as a foundation for internal reviews or audits.
A read-only IAM role with ViewOnlyAccess plus billing access is all we need. We can see everything required for the analysis but can't change anything. You can remove the role with a single click after the project ends.
That depends on the scope of the measures. Typical projects take between 2 and 8 weeks. Quick wins (Reserved Instances, unused resources) are often realized within a week.
Yes, and honestly, that's usually even the better approach. Your team knows the context, we bring the specialized experience. We don't take anyone's job away — we complement.
Absolutely. We work exclusively in your account, with your credentials, following your change management process. Nothing is extracted, nothing runs through our systems.
For over 10 years, we've been supporting clients with AWS projects — from initial migrations to complex multi-account architectures to ongoing optimization. Many of our clients have trusted us with their AWS environments for 5+ years.
