The Problem
Your cloud bill doubled and nobody can explain why. Finance is asking you to cut 30%. You are overprovisioned everywhere but afraid that right-sizing will break something. The longer you wait, the more waste compounds — and the harder the conversation with leadership gets.
Cloud cost optimisation is not about spending less — it is about spending wisely. Most organisations have 20-40% of cloud waste hiding in plain sight: orphaned resources, oversized instances, unused reserved capacity, and untagged spend that nobody owns.
FikaWorks combines deep cloud architecture expertise with FinOps discipline to find the waste, implement the fixes, and build the governance that makes savings permanent. We work across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and every recommendation comes with performance impact analysis — because cutting costs at the expense of reliability is not optimisation, it is risk.
What We Deliver
Cloud spend visibility — unified cost dashboards across accounts, services, and teams
Waste identification — orphaned resources, oversized instances, idle capacity, and untagged spend
Right-sizing recommendations with performance impact analysis — we do not cut blindly
Reserved capacity and savings plan optimisation across AWS, Azure, and GCP
Tagging governance — consistent cost allocation so every dollar has an owner
Automated cost policies — budget alerts, anomaly detection, and enforcement guardrails
FinOps operating model — so the savings stick after we leave
How We're Different
We are engineers, not analysts. We do not hand you a spreadsheet of recommendations — we implement the changes, codify the policies in Infrastructure as Code, and set up the dashboards so your team maintains cost discipline after we leave. Typically, 20-40% of cloud waste is low-hanging fruit we can address in the first two weeks.
Typical Outcomes
Measurable cloud spend reduction — typically 20-40% in the first engagement
Cost governance in place to prevent drift and waste recurrence
Finance gets predictability; engineering keeps performance
Every cloud resource tagged, tracked, and owned
How We Deliver This
Discovery Workshop
Assess your cloud spend landscape and prioritise optimisation opportunities.
Platform Readiness Assessment
Validate that cost optimisations do not compromise platform reliability.
Training & Enablement
Hands-on, practitioner-led workshops can be added to any engagement — Kubernetes, platform engineering, AI agents, and more.
