Your cloud bill is hiding 20–40% waste.
We’ll find it in 5 days — or you don’t pay.
A fixed-price Cloud Cost & Security Audit for AWS, GCP, Azure and DigitalOcean. Read-only access, zero production risk, and a line-item savings roadmap delivered by engineers who run production infrastructure for a living — not slideware.
$500–$1,000 fixed · 5 business days · read-only access only
The 3× Guarantee
If our audit doesn’t identify savings worth at least 3× your audit fee over the next 12 months, the audit is free. No negotiation, no fine print. We can offer this because cloud waste is that predictable — we’ve rarely opened an account and found nothing.
Who This Is For
- Your cloud bill grows faster than your revenue, and nobody can explain exactly why.
- You have no dedicated DevOps engineer — the bill gets paid, not reviewed.
- A launch, campaign or seasonal peak is coming and you’re not sure the setup will hold.
- You inherited infrastructure from a past developer or agency and don’t know what’s in there.
- You’ve had an outage (or a scare) and want an honest risk picture before the next one.
Typical fit: SMBs and startups spending $500–$50,000/month on cloud.
What You Get: The Audit Report
Five deliverables, one document, walked through with you on a call.
Line-Item Savings Roadmap
Every saving we find, ranked by dollar impact and implementation effort. Over-provisioned instances, orphaned volumes and snapshots, missing reserved/savings-plan coverage, premium-tier logs, chatty cross-AZ traffic.
Security & Access Review
IAM users and keys, security groups, public exposure, backup coverage and restore reality. The findings that keep you out of the breach headlines.
Resilience Check
Single points of failure and what actually happens at your next traffic peak. What breaks first, and what it costs to fix.
Right-Sizing & Commitment Plan
The exact instance changes and commitment purchases to make, with projected 12-month numbers.
30-Day Quick-Wins List
The subset your team can implement immediately. Yours to execute with anyone — no obligation to hire us for it.
How It Works
Access + kickoff
You grant a read-only IAM role (we send the exact policy — 10 minutes to set up). 30-minute kickoff call on your goals and pain points.
Deep review
We analyze cost, architecture, security and resilience. Read-only means read-only: nothing in production is touched, ever.
Report + walkthrough
You get the full report and a 45-minute call, in plain language your CFO can follow. Every finding has a number attached.
Why NerdDevs
10+ years running production infrastructure
Across AWS, GCP, Azure and DigitalOcean — for our own products and for clients in the US, UK, Ireland and beyond.
We operate at the scale you’re planning for
The messaging backend we build and run for a US client handles millions of texts a month. Genius AI went zero to 100,000 users in three weeks on infrastructure we capacity-planned before launch.
Read the messaging case study →A decade inside a zero-tolerance environment
For 10+ years we’ve engineered inside TestReach’s online exam platform, where thousands of candidates arrive in the same minute and a dropped session is a governance incident.
Cost review is routine practice for us
Not a product we invented last quarter. Monthly cost reviews on the systems we operate routinely cut 20–40%.
Simple, Fixed Pricing
Fixed price. No hourly meters, no scope creep, no obligation to buy anything afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What access do you need?
A read-only IAM role (AWS) or equivalent viewer role (GCP/Azure/DO). We send the exact policy JSON. You can revoke it the moment we’re done. NDA-ready before we see anything.
Can this break anything?
No. Read-only access cannot modify infrastructure. We analyze; we don’t touch.
What if you find nothing?
Then it’s free — that’s the guarantee. It also almost never happens: unreviewed cloud accounts reliably contain 20–40% waste.
We already use AWS Cost Explorer / Trusted Advisor. Isn’t this the same?
Tools list symptoms. Engineers find causes. Cost Explorer will show you spend by service; it won’t tell you that your staging environment mirrors production 24/7, that a queue would halve your instance count, or that your backups don’t actually restore.
Do we have to implement the findings with you?
No. The roadmap is yours. If you want help, we offer a fixed-scope Quick Wins implementation (2 weeks) — but the report is designed so any competent engineer can execute it.
Who does the audit?
Senior engineers who run production systems daily — led by NerdDevs’ founder, a hands-on cloud engineer with 17+ years in software. No juniors, no offshore-anonymous handoffs: you talk to the person doing the work.
What about time zones?
We’re in Dhaka (GMT+6) and work daily with US, UK and Irish clients. Kickoff and walkthrough calls are scheduled in your business hours.
