AWS bill reduction
32%
Challenge
AWS bill grew from $12K → $28K/mo in six months. No FinOps discipline, oversized nodes, and forgotten test environments piling up.
Approach
Rightsized EC2 and RDS, committed Savings Plans across compute, tuned Kubernetes requests/limits, and killed idle resources on a schedule.
Outcome
Cloud bill dropped 32% within one quarter and stayed there. Monthly FinOps reviews now catch drift within a week.
