Cloud costs get high, fast
When it comes to cloud-based databases, costs can rise quickly.
Automatic scaling is one of the biggest culprits. As you onboard more users, traffic increases, often causing costs to shoot up unexpectedly.
But it’s not just scaling: hidden costs are a reality, often the result of poorly optimized services that fail to successfully leverage the resources at their disposal.
These hidden costs add up quickly. Recently, we met with a client whose costs tripled in just one month, from $30,000 to $90,000.
This is by design. Cloud service providers are built with ever-increasing consumption in mind. Unfortunately, this generates high overhead for the host.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. We can help you take control of your cloud costs.
How we save you money
It starts with our free, two-hour consultation. We identify all the ways you can optimize your cloud management costs, from discovering hidden costs to making sustainable decisions as you continue to scale up.
In many cases, it doesn’t take us more than a few minutes to find what’s wrong. We find real fixes on a finite timeline with measurable results.
That means that you’ll see results right away, and we’ll be out of your hair in 12–15 weeks. Our goal is to help save you money—not make you pay more.
How much should you expect to save?
How much you’ll save depends on the state of your cloud. For most clients, we cut cloud bills by somewhere between 30% and 50%. For some, we’ve cut costs by more than 75%.
One of our clients came to us with $60,000 in monthly cloud costs. After a quick analysis, we determined they shouldn’t be paying more than $12,000–15,000 per month. Within two months, we brought their costs below $20,000. And not long after, they fell into our anticipated range.
During the COVID pandemic, we’ve even helped one client save over $150,000 per month.
