The Problem

AWS bills grow unchecked as teams provision resources without cost awareness.

AWS bill growing month-over-month with no visibility into what's driving costs

NAT Gateway and data transfer charges that nobody understands or manages

Over-provisioned EC2 instances running at 10-20% CPU utilization

No tagging strategy — impossible to allocate costs to teams or products

Missing Savings Plans and Reserved Instances on predictable workloads

Unused resources accumulating: idle RDS instances, unattached EBS volumes, orphaned snapshots
