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.

on dev/test environments

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
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
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

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
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
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 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.
Consumption-based models beat fixed provisioning. Dev/test environments alone can save 75% by shutting down outside working hours.
Cloud managed services handle databases, email, and storage at cloud scale, cheaper per transaction than self-managed alternatives.
We track business output against infrastructure cost so every reduction is validated, not guessed.
Reliable monitoring lets you attribute spend to teams and products so the right people can act on it.
Automating build, deploy, and operational processes frees engineers from repetitive tasks, reducing both human cost and error-driven incidents.
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.
