Cloud cost optimization in detail

Our process of cost-oriented services

We conduct a detailed review of IT infrastructure We conduct a detailed review of your entire IT infrastructure, carefully examining systems, resources, and processes to gain a clear understanding of their current state and efficiency.
Pinpoint cost-saving opportunities Based on this analysis, we pinpoint concrete cost-saving opportunities by identifying underutilized resources, inefficiencies, and areas where expenses can be reduced without compromising quality or performance.
Deliver a Cost Analysis Report At the end of the process, we deliver a comprehensive Cost Analysis Report that highlights our findings and provides a clear, actionable roadmap you can use independently or with our support for further cost optimization

CRYPTO

Cloud cost -75% reduced

Crypto platform cuts cloud costs 70-80% after migration

For a crypto company we ran a staged migration: first onto our self-managed Kubernetes cluster on Hetzner, then from Hetzner to AWS following AWS best practices - where costs (network especially) were huge. Through tuning, and close work with their dev team, we cut costs by 70-80%. We also ran 40+ blockchain nodes for them across different bare-metal providers.

Frequently asked questions

How we work, what you get and how an engagement starts. Don’t see your question? Ask us.

  • We optimize IT and cloud infrastructure. That spans cost optimization, performance engineering, DevOps, performance audits, blockchain node operations, and custom AI automation - reducing spend and improving speed, stability, and reliability without disrupting your business.

  • It depends on your setup, but the impact is often substantial. We’ve cut a telecom provider’s AWS bill by $1.03M a year, cut a crypto company’s cloud bill by 70-80%, and brought a Metaverse project from €36k to €6k per month. We start with an audit so you know the realistic savings before committing.

  • No - that’s the whole point. We reduce spend by removing waste and right-sizing, not by degrading service. In practice our work usually improves performance too: one system went from 20,000 to 130,000 orders in 15 minutes after our tuning. Every change is measured against your performance baseline.

  • Yes. We integrate with your engineers, workflows, and stack rather than replacing them. We work across AWS, Azure, GCP, Hetzner and bare-metal, with Kubernetes, CI/CD, and your existing monitoring - and we collaborate closely with your dev team to drive changes that stick.

  • A thorough evaluation of your systems and processes: what you have in place, where the bottlenecks and inefficiencies are, and a clear, prioritized set of actions - covering tooling, processes, automation, and cost-saving opportunities. You get a concrete roadmap, whether or not you continue with us.

  • Yes. We have run 40+ blockchain nodes for a single client across multiple bare-metal providers, and we troubleshoot a wide range of clients - handling sync stalls, consensus errors, peering, and upgrades. We support ETH, BSC, BASE, Solana, Story, Sonic, BERA, AVAX, Katana, MONAD, PulseChain and more.

  • We build custom AI agents scoped to real tasks and integrated into your existing systems. For example, we built invoice parsing for an accounting firm that handles many different invoice formats with a very high success rate - with human-in-the-loop oversight so accuracy stays high and you keep control.

  • It starts with a conversation. Send us a message with a bit about your infrastructure and goals, and we’ll suggest the right first step - usually an audit that maps out the savings and improvements available before any larger commitment.

Tell us what you want to fix

Describe what you run and what isn’t working: the cloud bill, response times, releases or recurring incidents. We reply by email with a suggested first step, usually a short call or an audit.
