How to reduce your AWS bill up to 60%
Blog post from Qovery
Qovery has partnered with Usage AI to help users significantly reduce their AWS bills through strategies that optimize compute and storage costs. Key strategies include using ephemeral environments, which can cut development environment costs by up to 90% by creating and destroying environments as needed, and implementing start and stop schedules that automatically shut down development environments outside of working hours, saving up to 77%. Application auto-scaling allows for a more modest 5% cost reduction by automatically adjusting resources to match demand, while infrastructure auto-scaling offers up to 100% savings by shutting down unused development clusters. These methods prioritize cost efficiency, particularly in development environments, although they may introduce challenges such as cold starts and are not suitable for production environments.
