Free 15-Minute AWS Bill Review
We look at your AWS bill together on a short call, and I tell you the top 3 fixes: where the money is leaking and what to change first. No written report, no commitment.
Dev and staging billed around the clock for a 40-hour work week.
Processing charges on traffic that never needed to leave AWS.
Instances sized for a peak that rarely comes.
Unattached volumes and old snapshots nobody owns.
How big is it on your bill? The free AWS cost waste calculator estimates it in about a minute.

What We Look At on the Call
1. Cloud Cost Leakage
Your biggest line items: over-provisioned EC2, NAT Gateway data processing, unattached EBS volumes, and stale snapshots.
2. Security & Compliance
If something obvious comes up, like a public S3 bucket or an overly broad security group, I'll flag it.
3. EKS & Compute Tuning
If you run Kubernetes, whether Spot, Karpenter and Graviton are a fit for your workloads.
4. CI/CD & Automation
Whether a cost check in your pipeline (such as Infracost on Terraform pull requests) or budget alerts would stop the bill creeping back up.

Leave with your top 3 fixes
Whether or not we work together. If you want them in writing with Terraform patches, that is the $250 AWS Cost Audit.
Access for the paid audit: read-only only. You create an IAM role with billing and view-only permissions and can revoke it at any time. I never need write access: you review and apply every Terraform patch yourself.
How I work
Fixed price, stated up front
A self-hosting setup or fix is $200 and the AWS Cost Audit is $250, both fixed. Larger projects are quoted before any work starts, so there are no surprise invoices.
Fixes, not a PDF
Paid work ends in working changes (config, Terraform, backup jobs) plus written notes on where everything lives, not an automated report you'll ignore.
Hands-on
Docker, n8n, Postgres, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS and GitOps CI/CD. The same stack behind the write-ups on this site.
Something useful for free first
A free 15-minute AWS bill review, or a free one-message recommendation for your self-hosted setup. You keep the advice whether we work together or not.
New practice, no fluff: I'd rather show you one real fix on your own bill than tell you about someone else's.
