Cloud costs
Cut your cloud bill without breaking production.
We read the last invoices, name the drivers, and model options before anything moves. The numbers stay in the private report.

Where the money goes
Bandwidth and egress
What leaves the region, and whether a CDN would change that.
Image optimization
Originals served on every view versus sized variants.
Database compute tier
Idle capacity, and a staging database that matches production.
Preview and staging left running
Branches and servers nobody has opened in weeks.
Log retention and add-ons
Lines you pay to keep and tools you no longer open.
Evidence, not a promise

- 37signals has written about leaving a large cloud. That is a large-company example, not typical for a small team. 37signals on leaving the cloud

Options
Same vendors. Spend caps, caching, smaller previews, and a database tier that matches the workload.
- What you gain: Least change. You keep the current deploy.
- What you take on: The unit prices of those vendors stay.
- Who it suits: Teams who are happy with the host and want the waste removed.
Cloud cost cut audit
- What it's for: teams whose Vercel, Supabase, AWS, Netlify, Firebase, Render or Heroku bill grew faster than users.
- What you get: a line-item review of the last 3 invoices, a usage-driver map, a right-sizing list, caching and egress notes, spend caps and alerts, and migration options. Modeled cost stays in the private report.
- Typical timeline: 5 business days.
- What we need: a read-only billing export and a diagram of what is running.
- What happens next: a proposal only if a change is worth making. Then a migration sprint if you accept it, and a care plan if you want the watch to continue.

FAQ
Questions worth answering first
Will we have downtime?
In-place changes are planned to avoid it. A move uses a cutover window written in the proposal.
Is self-hosting safe?
It is safe when patching, backups and a restore test are someone's job. If that job does not exist, we say so.
What if moving costs more than it saves?
Then we say so, and the recommendation is to stay and right-size.
Do you need billing access?
A read-only billing export is enough for the audit.
Which providers?
Vercel, Netlify, Supabase, Firebase, AWS, GCP, Azure, Render, Railway, Heroku and Replit Deployments.
