Most waste is idle capacity
Oversized instances, forgotten staging environments and unattached storage volumes account for the majority of avoidable spend we find during infrastructure audits.
Fix the database before the servers
Missing indexes and N+1 queries push teams to buy larger machines. A day of query optimisation frequently removes the need for a tier upgrade entirely.
Make cost visible
Tag resources by environment and feature, then put the monthly graph somewhere the engineering team sees it. Visibility changes behaviour faster than policy.
