Are you overpaying for cloud databases? Most companies are. CloudFogg finds the waste and fixes it — without compromising performance or reliability.
Pay for what you need. Not for what you over-provisioned.
Cloud databases are powerful — but they're also expensive when not managed carefully. Over-provisioned instances, idle resources, inefficient storage configurations, the wrong pricing model, and unoptimized queries can easily double your cloud database bill without delivering any additional value.
CloudFogg's cost optimization service combines deep database expertise with cloud billing knowledge to identify exactly where your money is going — and give you a clear, actionable plan to spend less while maintaining or improving performance.
Where We Find Savings
Most cloud databases are running on instances far larger than required. We analyze actual CPU, memory, and I/O utilization to recommend right-sized instances — often cutting costs by 30–50%.
Dev, staging, and test databases left running 24/7. Old snapshots accumulating. Abandoned read replicas. We identify and eliminate resources you're paying for but not using.
Excessive backup retention, unused allocated storage, expensive storage tiers for cold data, and snapshot proliferation — all found and rationalized.
On-demand pricing for steady-state workloads is expensive. We identify where Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, or Committed Use Discounts would dramatically reduce your bill.
Cross-region data transfers, egress fees, and unnecessary replication across availability zones can silently inflate your bill. We identify and minimize unnecessary data movement.
Inefficient queries increase CPU consumption and instance costs. We combine performance tuning with cost reduction — and evaluate where open-source engines can replace expensive commercial licenses.
Our Approach
We review your cloud billing data, database configurations, utilization metrics, and pricing model to build a complete picture of where every dollar is going and why.
A prioritized list of cost reduction opportunities — with estimated savings, implementation effort, and risk level for each recommendation so you can make informed decisions.
CloudFogg can implement the changes on your behalf — instance resizing, scheduling changes, reserved capacity purchases, and storage optimization — with zero downtime where possible.
Optional ongoing FinOps governance — monthly spend reviews, budget alerting, and continuous optimization recommendations as your workloads evolve.
