AWS Cost Optimization Case Studies
Real Clearview engagements where the AWS bill was too high, and howwe brought it down without stopping the roadmap — an EC2 → Graviton(ARM64) migration on M6g/C7gd/R7g families, aws_budgets_budgetalerts routed through SNS before the invoice hits, Compute SavingsPlans that don't lock you into an instance family, and a browser-direct S3 upload path that replaced a per-request managed SaaS.Each post is buyer-shaped: what the bill looked like, what weswapped in, and what the run-rate looks like now.
