After your findings

Step 2 · only if you want it

Cloud Optimization Engagement

Validate, prioritize and implement the optimization opportunities you approve.

Scoped with you

Covers the opportunities from your audit that you approve

  • Each opportunity validated against DR standbys, scheduled jobs, auto-scaling, DNS and vendor dependencies
  • A prioritized plan: savings, risk and effort for every item
  • Implementation of the items you approve, with a rollback step for each
  • Savings Plans sized on your post-cleanup usage, not today's bill

Work beyond your approved audit findings is scoped separately.

Step 3 · ongoing

Ongoing Cloud Optimization & Support

Cloud waste grows back. Keep it in check.

Scoped with you

Quarterly or yearly, as you prefer

  • Recurring cost reviews, compared with your last audit
  • Ongoing optimization as your usage changes
  • Infrastructure efficiency across compute, storage, network and commitments
  • Implementation support for the changes you approve

How it works

From request to initial findings in 3 steps

No kickoff call. No project manager. No payment up front.

1

Request your free audit

Tell us about your company and cloud spend. Your scan kit arrives by email straight away.

2

Run one read-only scan

Someone on your team with AWS console access runs the scan in AWS CloudShell. It takes about 10 minutes, changes nothing, and sends nothing to us. It shows your potential savings on screen and writes one encrypted results file for you to reply with.

3

See your findings, then decide

A senior infrastructure engineer reviews your results, and your initial findings arrive within 24 hours: what you could save, where, and how much each item matters. Want help acting on them? That's the paid engagement.

What an audit report looks like

See the report format before you start

This is a full audit report on a fictional demo account. Your free initial findings cover its headline figures; the resource-level detail and the plan come with the engagement.

  • Monthly and annual savings, with the basis for every figure
  • Savings by type: cleanup, rightsizing, commitments
  • Every finding ranked by $ impact, with severity, risk and effort
  • Checks to run before each change, and dry-run scripts

Security & access

Exactly what the scan reads, and what we see

We never get access to your AWS account. Your team runs the scan in AWS CloudShell, inside your own account, and it sends nothing anywhere. We see only the results file you choose to send us, encrypted so only we can open it.

✅ What the scan reads

  • Resource configuration (instance types, volumes, IPs, databases)
  • Cost & usage data from AWS Cost Explorer
  • AWS Compute Optimizer recommendations
  • Utilization metrics needed to spot idle resources
  • Which services, regions and environments you use

What it can't do

  • Read your data: S3 objects, database rows, secrets
  • Create, modify or delete anything
  • Send anything to us or anyone else
  • Give us access to your account, keys or passwords
  • Stay with us: the results you send are deleted within 30 days of delivery

The kit's README lists exactly what the results file contains. NDA or data-processing agreement available on request: hello@exommerce.online.

Who reviews your audit

A senior infrastructure engineer

Every audit is reviewed by a senior infrastructure engineer before results are shared.

  • Each figure is checked against your own cost and usage data
  • Disaster-recovery standbys, scheduled jobs and auto-scaled capacity are kept out of the savings
  • Anything with a dependency to check first (DNS records, partner allowlists, backup retention) is marked for validation, not removal
Industry benchmarks

What the best engineering teams proved

Lessons from public engineering case studies that we build into our audits.

Etsy, Netflix, Capital One and 37signals are not eXommerce clients. These are publicly documented industry examples that inform our methodology.

37signals · Cloud cost

A $3.2M/year cloud bill, cut down to size

37signals (Basecamp, HEY) was spending about $3.2M a year on cloud. After moving off, they reported roughly $2M saved in the first full year, with $10M+ projected over five years.

→ In our audit: we flag where you pay on-demand premiums for steady workloads that don't need elastic pricing.
Etsy · Release velocity

50+ production deploys a day

Etsy scaled to 50+ deploys a day by making releases small, automated and boring, so shipping stopped being a risk event.

→ In our blueprints: we flag the release and capacity risks that stop teams from shipping with confidence.
Netflix · Resilience

Break it on purpose, before customers do

Netflix pioneered chaos engineering (Chaos Monkey), deliberately killing production instances to prove the system survives failure.

→ In our Stress Test: we push your stack to its limit on your schedule, not on Black Friday.
Capital One · Cloud security

All-in on cloud, locked down by least privilege

Capital One closed its data centers and went all-in on AWS. Its public lessons on IAM misconfiguration became an industry benchmark for cloud permissions.

→ In our audit: a read-only scan your own team runs, with no access granted to us.
FAQ

Questions CTOs ask us

Do you get access to our AWS account?
No. Someone on your team runs the scan in AWS CloudShell, signed in to your own account. It only reads configuration, utilization and cost data, changes nothing, and sends nothing to us. Your team sees the headline savings on screen, then replies with the results file it creates. We never ask for access, keys or passwords.
What's in the results file?
Your account ID and alias, last month's bill and spend by region, the services and regions you use, and, for each resource the scan flags, its ID, name, type, utilization and estimated savings. Never the contents of your data (S3 objects, database rows, secrets) and never credentials. The file is encrypted so only eXommerce can open it, and it's deleted within 30 days of delivery. The kit's README lists the same, and the kit is plain Python your team can read.
What's free, and what do I pay for?
The audit is free: your potential monthly savings, how they split between cleanup, rightsizing and commitments, the biggest opportunities and their severity, and a snapshot of your stack. If you want help acting on it, the Cloud Optimization Engagement validates each opportunity against your environment, prioritizes them, and implements the ones you approve. It's scoped with you after you've seen your findings. Ongoing Cloud Optimization & Support is available after that. You decide after you've seen your findings.
When do I get my initial findings?
Within 24 hours of receiving your scan results, not from when you request the audit. The scan works from the cost and usage history AWS already keeps, so there's nothing to install and no waiting period.
How firm are the savings figures?
They're potential savings until validated. In the engagement, each one is checked against how the resource is actually used before it becomes a recommendation, and only the recommendations you approve are implemented. Savings Plans are sized on your usage after cleanup and rightsizing, never on today's bill alone.
What does Ongoing Cloud Optimization & Support include?
Recurring cost reviews, quarterly or yearly, each compared with your previous audit so you see what you fixed and what's new, plus ongoing optimization, infrastructure efficiency work and implementation support. We agree the scope and price with you before it starts.
Who makes the changes?
Nothing changes automatically: the audit is read-only. In the engagement, changes are made only for the opportunities you approve, in a window you choose, with a rollback step for each. Scripts run in dry-run mode by default (they only list what they would change) and take a snapshot before any deletion.
What if some resources are idle on purpose?
Tag them Environment=DR, CostScope=Exclude or exommerce:skip and the audit leaves them out: a disaster-recovery standby isn't waste. We also check for scheduled jobs, auto-scaling groups, DNS records pointing at a resource, and addresses partners may have allowlisted, before anything is recommended for removal. Tell us about any other tags you already use for this.
Do you support Azure and Google Cloud?
AWS is live today. Azure and Google Cloud are in final testing. Join the waitlist and we'll notify you first.
What if our account spends less than $3,000/month?
The free audit still works. Below about $3,000 a month there's often too little waste for a paid engagement to be worth it, and we'll tell you so.
Can you sign an NDA or DPA?
Yes. Email hello@exommerce.online before or after requesting your audit.
Is there anything to remove afterwards?
No. The scan creates nothing in your account, so there's no role, user or agent to clean up. The only files are the results in your CloudShell, which you can delete whenever you like.
Service terms

Cloud Cost & Infrastructure Audit — Terms

These terms apply to audits and engagements requested through this page, in addition to our general Terms of Service. By requesting an audit, you agree to them.

  1. Service. eXommerce LLP ("we") performs a free, read-only review of the customer's AWS account and sends initial audit findings. The customer may then engage us for the Cloud Optimization Engagement, which validates, prioritizes and implements the optimization opportunities from the audit that the customer approves. Work beyond those approved opportunities, and Ongoing Cloud Optimization & Support, are scoped and priced in writing before they start.
  2. Scan & authorization. The customer runs the read-only scan in their own account and confirms they are authorized to do so and to share its results with us. We are not given access to the account, and we never ask for or store access keys, passwords, private keys or other credentials.
  3. Delivery time. Initial audit findings are sent within 24 hours of receiving the scan results. Engagement timelines are agreed when an engagement starts.
  4. No automatic changes. The audit does not modify, delete or create resources in the customer's account. Figures in the initial findings are potential savings; each is validated before it is recommended, and changes are made only for opportunities the customer approves in writing. Scripts default to dry-run mode, and the customer is responsible for confirming backups and change windows before changes are applied.
  5. Payment. The audit is free. Any paid work is scoped and priced in writing before it starts.
  6. Confidentiality & data. We treat all account data as confidential and use it only to deliver the service. Detailed account data (resource IDs, configuration and the full findings) is deleted within 30 days of sending the initial findings, or of completing an engagement, whichever is later. We keep only the summary metadata needed for delivery, analysis and follow-up: the audit ID, contact and company details, spend range, savings totals, finding counts by category and severity, and the regions and services in use. For Ongoing Cloud Optimization & Support, we also keep the previous findings so each review can be compared with the last.
  7. Liability. Our total liability is limited to the fee paid for the service. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for outcomes of actions the customer takes based on the findings.
  8. Testimonials. We may ask for a short testimonial. Any published result is anonymized unless the customer approves otherwise.
  9. Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of India, with exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Bengaluru, Karnataka.
  10. Contact. hello@exommerce.online · +91 98442 65267
