1. Baseline
We review spend by account, service, tag, region, and commitment coverage to find where savings can be proven.
What the assessment finds
- Idle EC2, RDS, EBS, load balancer, snapshot, and data-transfer waste.
- Rightsizing opportunities for steady workloads and underused capacity.
- Savings Plans and reserved-instance gaps, renewals, and overcommitment risk.
- Tagging and account allocation problems that hide business-unit ownership.
- Managed-service and storage growth patterns that quietly lift the bill.
- Quick wins that do not require application rewrites or risky migrations.
How Metricly turns billing data into action
2. Prioritize
Opportunities are ranked by estimated savings, implementation effort, operational risk, and owner.
3. Execute
You get a 30-day plan and can use Metricly for follow-up implementation support where it makes sense.
Common questions
Do you need write access?
No. The first review is designed around read-only billing and usage data.
Is this a dashboard?
The assessment is a human-reviewed savings plan, not another generic reporting screen.
Who is it for?
Teams with meaningful AWS spend that need practical savings without slowing engineering down.
