FINOPS FOR ENGINEERING
Cut cloud and infrastructure spend by 15-40% — without performance loss.
Zero upfront. I take only 15% of verified 12-month savings. Transparent. Vendor-neutral. Safe.
Typical impact
⚡ 15-25% savings in 2-4 weeks (quick hygiene and right-sizing)
💡 30-40% savings with deeper architecture changes
🧩 Zero performance loss — all savings verified against SLOs
HOW IT WORKS
🔍 Discovery: access billing, usage, observability data; define SLO/SLA guardrails — no “savings” that break reliability
📊 Baseline: establish 30-90-day normalized cost baseline
🧭 Actionable plan: precise roadmap with owners, dollar impact, and rollout order
🛠️ Implement: internal or hands-on execution under change control
✅ Verify: measure net savings vs baseline, monthly reports, adjust
ENGAGEMENT MODEL
Zero upfront: audit, planning and execution are free
Success fee: I take only 15% of verified 12-month savings
Flexible execution: your team can implement — or I can, under change control
No lock-in: flat, transparent engagement. No retainers, no hourly billing
FAQ
-
Measured against a 30-90-day baseline, normalized for seasonality and growth.
Only structural, repeatable reductions count — not vendor credits or one-offs.
-
Every change respects SLO guardrails.
If reliability or UX degrade, it’s reverted. Savings must be neutral or positive to performance.
-
Your team can handle it internally, or I can step in for critical parts — no fees, no retainers required.
-
Cloud & Infra: AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform
Data: PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, ClickHouse
Search & Logs: Elasticsearch / OpenSearch, Prometheus, Grafana
App Layer: profiling, latency, caching
-
Least-privilege, read-only where possible, short-lived credentials, and full audit trail.
-
15% of verified 12-month savings.
Zero upfront. Fixed-fee implementation possible for larger scopes.
