What it does

Most startups are paying for AWS infrastructure nobody is using — typically 20–30% of their bill. It's normalized because nobody looks. This tool looks. And fixes it automatically. Scans 7 resource types across multiple accounts — idle EC2, unattached EBS, Elastic IPs, RDS, S3, load balancers, data transfer waste. Excel report + PDF + Streamlit dashboard. Full scan in 60 minutes. Read-only IAM. Dry-run default. Nothing changed without confirmation.

We scan your AWS account, find every dollar of waste, and fix it in days. Specialized in Series A/B startups spending $15K–$60K/month. No savings = no fee.

We scan your entire AWS account, find every dollar of waste, and fix it — in days, not months. No agents. No consultants who just send reports. We execute. One Python-powered tool scans your account via a read-only cross-account role. Zero access risk. Zero installation on your side. EC2 instances, RDS databases, NAT Gateways running with near-zero utilization. We find them all and shut them down safely. Orphaned EBS volumes, old snapshots, unused S3 buckets sitting silent. Every byte costs money — we eliminate the ghost storage. Cross-AZ, cross-region, internet egress — data transfer costs are invisible until they explode. We surface and optimize every flow. Idle load balancers and NAT…from rkscloudsolutions.com

    Usage 2.0 – Cut AWS Spend by 57% in 5 Minutes2023 · ▲135

    Hey HN: Kaveh here, the founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We launched on Hacker News for the first time early last year, and we've made a lot of progress since then. We've saved tens of millions of dollars for companies, and we are even more excited to announce the launch of a new product: insured reservations for RDS! We worked closely with AWS on this feature and are excited to finally make it generally available. We help companies drive down AWS EC2 & RDS spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up spending time managing costs…

    I built a service to help companies save on their AWS bills2020 · ▲73

    Hey HN: I'm Kaveh, the founder of Usage (https://www.usage.ai/) We help companies drive down AWS costs. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. Stakeholders, especially engineers, are required to spend unnecessary time manually finding underutilized or overly expensive EC2s. We believe the optimization process should be done automatically through a series of sophisticated algorithms. At the moment, there are over 70,000 AWS EC2 prices - doing that manually just won't scale at most organizations. My background is in software engineering. Previous to founding Usage, I…

    Hey HN: Kaveh here, the founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We help companies drive down AWS EC2 spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up spending time managing costs rather than focusing on business problems. Previous to founding Usage, I worked on high-performance computing research at JP Morgan Chase and as a software engineer at a number of smaller startups. Here's how it works: We are typically brought in by a DevOps manager to cut AWS EC2 costs. The app is entirely self-service and the savings are generated automatically,…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
