/01The challenge
A regulated FinTech was spending 3× what comparable workloads should cost. Procurement was demanding cuts; engineering was scared of breaking compliance controls.
/02Our 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.
/03The outcome
Cloud spend down 38% over two billing periods. No SLO regressions. Cost-per-transaction dropped enough to fund the next platform initiative.
