The client reported unexpected overbilling on its AWS cloud usage and needed a clear diagnosis of where costs were coming from and how to bring them under control.
MoreYeahs diagnosed and eliminated cloud overspend for a client's AWS infrastructure, cutting monthly operational costs by nearly 57%.
The client reported unexpected overbilling on its AWS cloud usage and needed a clear diagnosis of where costs were coming from and how to bring them under control.
An investigation found that the client's infrastructure had been scaled up without a governance or cost-management strategy to match, leaving significant waste in place.
Over-Provisioned Compute — Compute instances were sized well beyond actual usage.
Unused Resources — Unused database tables and legacy instances continued to accrue cost.
Extended Support Charges — Outdated service versions carried extended support charges.
MoreYeahs implemented a targeted cost-optimization strategy addressing both immediate waste and longer-term governance.
Right-Sized Compute — Downsized over-provisioned compute instances and eliminated unused legacy instances.
Automated Scheduling — Automated scheduled start/stop jobs for non-continuous workloads.
Database Cleanup — Deleted unused database tables and implemented lifecycle policies on active ones.
Storage Mode Optimization — Switched low-traffic tables to on-demand mode.
Version Upgrades — Upgraded database services and compute instances to their latest supported versions.
The optimization work was carried out entirely within the client's existing AWS environment.
The optimization strategy delivered an immediate, measurable reduction in cloud spend.
57% Cost Reduction — Implementing the strategy reduced operational cost by nearly 57% on a monthly basis.
Eliminated Waste — Unused instances and database tables no longer generate ongoing charges.
Modernized Footprint — Upgrading to current database and compute versions removed extended-support charges going forward.
Beyond the immediate savings, the engagement gave the client a more disciplined baseline for managing cloud spend.
Sustainable Cost Discipline — Lifecycle policies and scheduled automation help prevent the same overspend from recurring.
Modern, Supported Infrastructure — Upgraded services reduce both cost and risk going forward.
