Early-stage startups need a cloud setup that is reliable, affordable, and ready to scale. But many end up with bloated infrastructure costs or fragile monoliths that are hard to manage. Our Cost-Optimized Cloud Setup focuses on striking the right balance: using managed services for reliability, automation for repeatability, and cost controls to avoid surprises. Whether you're on AWS, GCP, or Azure, we design a lean but resilient architecture tailored for startups trying to prove product-market fit while keeping runway intact.
Problem Businesses Face
-
Uncontrolled cloud costs due to always-on resources
-
Overprovisioned instances and unused services
-
Fragile deployments and long recovery times
-
Lack of monitoring and cost visibility
-
Difficulty scaling reliably as traffic grows
-
No policy or tagging strategy for cost ownership
Our Solution
We build a cost-aware cloud foundation that prioritizes reliability and observability while minimizing spend.
-
Cost baseline and audit to identify waste and optimization opportunities
-
Rightsizing recommendations and auto-scaling setups
-
Use of managed serverless or container services (FaaS, Cloud Run, Lambda, ECS/EKS with cost limits) where appropriate

-
Centralized logging, monitoring, and alerting with budget alerts and anomaly detection
-
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation) for reproducible, auditable deployments
-
Reserved instances or committed use discounts analysis for predictable workloads
-
Tagging and governance policies for cost allocation and ownership
