Cut Cloud Costs.

Keep everything that matters

Kloia's FinOps practice audits your infrastructure, removes
waste, and systematically reduces your monthly bill without
compromising performance or reliability.

Get in Touch

It's tempting to overprovision. More resources feel safer, and infrastructure costs can hide in the noise of a fast-moving engineering team. But over time, those decisions compound. Most organisations we work with are paying for 40 to 60% more than they actually need.

A structured path from spend to savings

 

Understand your baseline
We analyse your full usage and utilisation in collaboration with your Dev and Ops teams. Output: a detailed report with concrete savings opportunities.

Assess
Plan the right sequence
We prioritise actions by complexity and savings potential. Short-term quick wins come first; longer-term structural changes follow.


Roadmap
Deliver real reductions
Our engineers work alongside your team to implement changes. Short-term wins are applied immediately and impact shows on your next bill.

Six areas of measurable reduction

High impact

License removal

Many organisations pay for licences they no longer need or that have cheaper alternatives.

  • Migrate Windows workloads to Linux with zero OS licensing cost

  • Replace MSSQL/Oracle with managed MySQL or PostgreSQL

  • Minimise or eliminate VMware using Rancher on Kubernetes

Up to 90%

Compute optimisation

Most teams overprovision. Right-sizing and smarter purchasing cuts bills dramatically.

  • Move dev/test to cloud and pay only when it is running

  • Dockerise build servers and use cloud-native CI

  • Apply Reserved Instances, Spot Instances, and Savings Plans

Up to 80%

Observability and logging

Legacy APM and logging tools often account for a surprising share of the total bill. Both Humio and Instana offer significantly lower licensing costs than the incumbents they replace.

  • Migrate to Humio for high-volume logging — 30% lower operational costs, up to 80% lower licensing cost

  • Replace Dynatrace/AppDynamics/New Relic with Instana using competitive node-based licensing

Quick win

Testing infrastructure

Dedicated hardware for testing is expensive and underused. Cloud alternatives cost far less.

  • AWS Device Farm for mobile testing with no physical device lab needed

  • Selenium Hub for web testing requires less hardware than vendor tools

Strategic

Application architecture

Monoliths under load cost more to run than well-designed distributed systems.

  • Event sourcing with Splitet reduces load spikes on services

  • Modernisation removes unnecessary over-provisioning

Ongoing

Traffic and bandwidth

Bandwidth is a primary cost for many sites. Caching and security can make a significant dent.

  • Cloudflare CDN reduces origin bandwidth significantly

  • WAF, DDoS, and Bot protection bundled at low cost versus point solutions

Splitet: event sourcing for high-load services

Splitet is Kloia's own Java-based Event Sourcing framework, built for teams making CQRS transitions with minimal learning curve. Using an Operation Store architecture with Kafka, Hazelcast, and Cassandra, it reduces load spikes on your services and directly lowers the compute you need to provision.

Principles behind every recommendation

deposit

Pay for what you use

Consumption-based models beat fixed provisioning. Dev/test environments alone can save 75% by shutting down outside working hours.

cloud-management

Offload undifferentiated work

Cloud managed services handle databases, email, and storage at cloud scale, cheaper per transaction than self-managed alternatives.

validation

Measure before you cut

We track business output against infrastructure cost so every reduction is validated, not guessed.

registration

Make cost visible

Reliable monitoring lets you attribute spend to teams and products so the right people can act on it.

How we sustain savings

Enablers that keep costs down long-term

Automation

Automating build, deploy, and operational processes frees engineers from repetitive tasks, reducing both human cost and error-driven incidents.

Managed outsourcing

Maintaining specialist infrastructure in-house is expensive. Kloia's DevOps as a Service gives you senior certified engineers at a fraction of a full team's cost.

  • Short-term changes like rightsizing instances, applying Reserved or Spot pricing, and shutting down idle dev/test environments typically appear on your next monthly bill. Structural changes like licence migrations or architecture improvements follow in later phases of the roadmap.
  • No. Even if your production environment is still on-premise, we can start with dev and test environments. Moving those to cloud alone can cut costs by up to 75%. The assessment will identify what is feasible given your current setup.
  • We do not cut blindly. Every change is validated against business output metrics before and after. Our approach is to remove waste, not capacity. Most clients see no degradation in performance, and many see improvements due to better-tuned infrastructure.
  • The assessment phase requires regular collaboration sessions with your Dev and Ops teams. After that, we adapt to your constraints. We can take the lead on execution or work alongside your engineers, depending on what suits you. Change intervals are agreed in advance.
  • AWS tools show you what you are spending. We tell you what you should not be spending, and then do the work to fix it. That includes licence audits, architecture changes, vendor alternatives, and operational improvements that native cost tools do not surface or implement.
  • It starts with a structured project covering assess, roadmap, and execute. Many clients continue with us on an ongoing basis through DevOps as a Service, ensuring costs stay optimised as their infrastructure evolves.
