AWS RDS is easy to set up. too easy. most teams overprovision, misconfigure, or ignore optimizations—then get hit with an unnecessary bill.
I help engineers and startups cut rds costs without hurting performance. this isn’t about flipping one setting or upgrading to the latest AWS shiny object.
i look at what you actually need and remove everything you don’t.
How It Works
Audit – i analyze your rds setup, cost drivers, and workload patterns
Right-sizing – i fix instance types, storage, and performance bottlenecks
Tuning – indexing, parameter adjustments, and connection pooling where needed
(if needed) architecture fixes – multi-az, read replicas, serverless, or other shifts only if they make sense
Report + Follow-up – clear breakdown of changes, savings, and next steps
Who Is This For
Startups & solo founders trying to cut cloud costs without breaking things
Teams running bursty or low-traffic workloads that don’t need full-time instances
Engineers who know their db isn’t optimized but don’t have time to fix it
Pricing
RDS Audit → $500 – cost breakdown + top 3 fixes to apply yourself
Full Optimization → $2,500 – i handle everything, including changes + validation
you’ll save more than you spend. usually in months. sometimes in weeks.

let’s take a quick look at your rds bill. worst case, you find out you’re already optimized. best case, you save thousands.
