Infrastructure that scales when you do — and doesn't bleed money.

When a cloud bill doubles the instinct is to look for a cheaper instance type. That saving is real and small. The large numbers are almost always in four places, and all four are organisational problems wearing a technical costume.

Resources nobody owns

Unattached volumes, old snapshots, load balancers pointing at nothing, idle databases from a finished project, reserved addresses never released. This accumulates because deleting something you do not understand feels riskier than paying for it. Tag everything with an owner and a purpose at creation, and treat an untagged resource as a defect.

The rest of it

• Non-production environments running around the clock for a team that works eight hours — a schedule that shuts them down out of hours is often the single largest saving available, and takes an afternoon.
• Egress and cross-zone transfer, which scale with success and surprise people. Logs shipped at full volume are a common contributor.
• Storage sitting on the hottest tier when most of it has not been read in a year.
• Committed capacity nobody has reviewed since the architecture moved underneath it.

Reliability you have actually tested

Backups nobody has restored are not backups. We define the recovery point and recovery time you actually need, build to it, and then rehearse the restore — because the first real test should not be during an incident. The same applies to alerting: every alert goes to a named person, and anything that fires routinely and gets ignored is either fixed or deleted.
