FinOps Framework

The Three Pillars

Our FinOps approach follows the industry-standard framework: Inform, Optimize, and Operate.

Inform
Full visibility into database costs with allocation, showback/chargeback, and unit economics. Know exactly where your money goes.
  • Cost allocation by team/app
  • Showback & chargeback reports
  • Unit economics dashboards
  • Anomaly detection
Optimize
Active cost reduction through rightsizing, reserved capacity, storage tiering, and waste elimination. Maximize value per dollar.
  • Rightsizing recommendations
  • Reserved instance planning
  • Storage optimization
  • Idle resource cleanup
Operate
Governance and automation to maintain cost efficiency. Budgets, alerts, policies, and continuous optimization.
  • Budget management
  • Cost alerts & thresholds
  • Tagging governance
  • Automated optimization

Where We Save

Optimization Areas

Multiple levers for reducing database costs while maintaining performance and reliability.

Compute Rightsizing
20-40%
Match instance sizes to actual workload requirements. Identify over-provisioned databases and right-size without impacting performance.
Performance baseline analysis
CPU/memory utilization mapping
Workload pattern identification
Safe downsizing implementation
Reserved Capacity
25-40%
Strategic commitment planning for stable workloads. Optimize RI coverage across your database fleet with portfolio management.
Usage pattern analysis
Coverage recommendations
RI portfolio optimization
Commitment lifecycle management
Storage Optimization
15-30%
Reduce storage costs through tiering, compression, and lifecycle policies. Optimize IOPS provisioning for actual requirements.
Storage tiering (SSD/HDD)
IOPS right-sizing
Compression implementation
Archival automation
Waste Elimination
10-20%
Identify and eliminate idle databases, unused snapshots, orphaned volumes, and dev/test resources running 24/7.
Idle database detection
Snapshot lifecycle policies
Dev/test scheduling
Orphan resource cleanup
License Optimization
20-50%
Optimize database licensing through BYOL, license-included options, or migration to open-source alternatives.
License audit & analysis
BYOL vs included comparison
Open-source migration paths
Hybrid licensing strategies
Architecture Review
15-35%
Optimize database architecture for cost efficiency. Read replicas, caching layers, and workload distribution strategies.
Read/write splitting
Caching layer implementation
Multi-tenancy optimization
Serverless evaluation
