Getting AWS Costs Under Control for a Startup

[Emily]

Hey everyone! Our startup is using AWS, and the bills are starting to spiral out of control. We want to optimize costs but don’t want performance or reliability to suffer. Has anyone had experience with services that actually help startups manage AWS efficiently?

I worked with Cloudvisor https://cloudvisor.co/ and it was nothing like typical cloud support. They really dug into our AWS setup, uncovered inefficiencies we didn’t even know existed, and helped us put together a practical plan to cut costs while keeping everything running smoothly. They also assisted with free AWS credits and discounts on CloudFront, which immediately helped our budget. What impressed me most was the dedicated manager — always checking in, offering clear advice, and making the whole process feel collaborative. It didn’t feel like a service provider; it felt like a teammate helping us grow.
