Are You Experiencing These AWS Cost Issues?

💸 Unexpected AWS Bills

Development and test instances left running 24/7 when only used during business hours, causing bills to skyrocket without warning.

🔄 Manual Shutdown Fatigue

Developers forget to stop instances at end of day, weekends, or during holidays, leading to unnecessary compute costs.

📊 No Visibility on Idle Resources

No automated way to detect and stop instances with low CPU utilization, memory usage, or network activity over extended periods.

⚡ GPU Instance Waste

Expensive GPU instances for ML training left running after jobs complete, burning through budget at £2-8 per hour.

Our Proven Implementation Process

1. Cost Analysis & Instance Discovery

We analyze your current AWS usage patterns, identify idle instances, and calculate potential savings. You'll see exactly which instances are wasting money and how much you can save.

2. Custom Automation Deployment

We deploy Lambda functions, CloudWatch alarms, and EventBridge rules tailored to your environment. Each instance type gets optimized thresholds based on its usage pattern.

3. Safe Testing & Validation

We test the automation on non-critical instances first, validate notifications work correctly, and ensure your applications handle graceful shutdowns properly.

4. Training & Monitoring Setup

We train your team on managing the automation, set up cost monitoring dashboards, and provide runbooks for common scenarios and troubleshooting.
