The challenge
A regulated FinTech was spending 3× what comparable workloads should cost. Procurement was demanding cuts; engineering was scared of breaking compliance controls.
Our approach
We profiled workloads against actual peak, right-sized aggressively where SLOs allowed, and added cost guardrails into CI so regressions are caught before merge. All changes flowed through the existing audit log.
The outcome
Cloud spend down 38% over two billing periods. No SLO regressions. Cost-per-transaction dropped enough to fund the next platform initiative.
