Cost Optimization

We reduce your Google Cloud bill without compromising performance or availability. We analyze your usage, identify waste, and implement the cost-saving strategies that have the greatest impact.

Our optimization process

Most companies spend 20% to 40% more than necessary on cloud services. Our process identifies where the waste lies and how to eliminate it:

01
Consumer audit

We analyze your GCP bill line by line: underutilized VMs, orphaned disks, unused static IPs, obsolete snapshots, and unnecessary network traffic.

02
Resource rightsizing

We scale your VMs, Cloud SQL instances, and GKE clusters to match your actual usage. There’s no impact on performance, and you’ll see immediate cost savings.

03
Committed Use Discounts (CUDs)

We negotiate and set up discounts for 1- or 3-year usage commitments. Save up to 57% on computing and up to 30% on databases.

04
Spot VMs and Preemptible VMs

For interruption-tolerant workloads (batch processing, CI/CD, rendering), we set up Spot VMs with discounts of up to 91%.

05
Continuous cost monitoring

We set up budget alerts, cost dashboards in Looker, and monthly reports. We’ve implemented FinOps to ensure that cost savings are sustainable, not just a one-time occurrence.

Google Cloud Recommender analyzes your resource usage and generates automatic cost-saving recommendations. We take care of implementing them securely and verifying that they don't impact performance.

FinOps: A Culture of Continuous Optimization

Cost optimization isn’t a one-time project—it’s a discipline. FinOps (Financial Operations) is the practice of managing cloud spending as a shared responsibility among engineering, finance, and business. We implement FinOps to ensure that cost savings are sustainable, not just a one-off measure.

Report

Complete visibility into cloud spending. Real-time dashboards, budget alerts, and cost allocation by team, project, or environment.

Optimize

Rightsizing, CUDs, Spot VMs, and orphan resource cleanup. Specific actions that lower costs without impacting performance.

Trade

Cost management integrated into day-to-day operations. Tagging policies, monthly reviews, and accountability among teams.

Mandatory resource tagging
We configure labels and organization policies so that each resource has an assigned owner, environment, and cost center. Without a label, it cannot be created.
Cost Dashboards by Team
We build dashboards in Looker that break down expenses by team, project, and service. Each manager can see how their decisions affect the bill.
Monthly FinOps Reviews
Regular sessions where we review consumer trends, implement new recommendations from the Recommender, and adjust CUDs based on actual usage.
Alerts and proactive quotas
Alerts at 50%, 80%, and 100% of the budget. Project-based billing to avoid unexpected cost overruns. Real-time notifications via Slack or email.
