SaaS FinOps Turnaround
A scaling SaaS burned $310k a month with nobody owning the bill. We attributed every dollar to teams, rightsized the top fifty resources, committed to savings plans where usage was proven, and installed budget alerts with teeth.
-
Attribute every dollar
Weekly cost-per-team reports with trend lines and the top five idle resources named. Social pressure did more in a month than a year of tickets.
-
Rightsize from data
Compute Optimizer plus measured utilization drove the top-fifty list. Savings plans only where usage was proven — never on hope.
-
Automate the vigilance
Budget alerts with owners, Infracost on every pull request, and Grafana burn-downs in the same standup as latency.
You can't optimize what you can't attribute. Showback comes before savings, always.
