Stop Overpaying for Cloud Infrastructure
Most companies waste 30–40% of their cloud budget on oversized instances, idle resources, and missed discount programs. We find the waste, fix it, and build guardrails so it doesn't come back.
Trusted by innovative teams worldwide
Cloud Economics Expertise, Certified
Our cost engineers combine cloud architecture certifications with deep financial modeling experience.
Systematic Cost Optimization — Not Just Turning Things Off
We balance performance, reliability, and cost across your entire cloud footprint — finding savings that don't sacrifice the things that matter.
Cloud Cost Audit
Line-by-line analysis of your cloud bill — identifying oversized instances, idle resources, unattached storage, and optimization opportunities across every service and region.
Right-Sizing & Scheduling
Instance type optimization based on actual usage data — not guesswork. Plus automated start/stop scheduling for non-production environments that run 24/7 unnecessarily.
Reserved & Savings Plans
Strategic reserved instance and savings plan purchases based on your usage patterns — maximizing discounts without overcommitting. Typical savings: 30–50% on compute.
Waste Elimination
Automated detection and cleanup of zombie resources — orphaned snapshots, unattached EBS volumes, idle load balancers, and test environments that should have been deleted months ago.
Architecture Optimization
Structural changes that reduce cost at the architectural level — serverless migration for bursty workloads, spot/preemptible instances for batch processing, and CDN optimization.
FinOps Governance
Cost tagging strategy, budget alerts, anomaly detection, and team-level chargeback reporting — building a culture of cost awareness across your engineering organization.
Your Cloud Bill Is Probably 35% Higher Than It Needs to Be
We'll prove it with a free cost audit — no commitment, just hard numbers.
Cut waste. Keep performance. Build guardrails.
Our optimization engagements deliver measurable savings within 30 days — and the governance frameworks we build ensure costs stay optimized long after our engagement ends.
Cost Optimization That Lasts
One-time cleanup is easy. The hard part is building systems and habits that keep costs optimized as your infrastructure grows. That's where we focus.
Why Finance and Engineering Teams Choose OpenMalo
We speak both languages — cloud architecture and financial impact. That's why CFOs and CTOs both trust our recommendations.
Find Out What You're Wasting
Share your monthly cloud spend range and we'll deliver a free cost audit showing exactly where you can save — with hard numbers, not vague promises.
Our Engagement Process
Cost Audit
Full analysis of your cloud bill, usage patterns, and resource inventory — identifying waste, oversizing, and discount opportunities across every service.
Savings Roadmap
Prioritized list of optimization actions ranked by savings potential and implementation effort — with projected dollar impact for each item.
Quick Wins
Immediate actions — waste cleanup, scheduling, and right-sizing obvious overprovisioning — that deliver 15–20% savings within the first 30 days.
Deep Optimization
Reserved instance strategy, architectural changes, serverless migration for suitable workloads, and spot instance implementation for batch processing.
Governance & Monitoring
Cost tagging, budget alerts, anomaly detection, team chargeback dashboards, and monthly optimization reviews to prevent cost regression.
What Our Clients Say
“We were spending $87K/month on AWS and assumed most of it was necessary. OpenMalo's audit found $31K in monthly savings — some of it embarrassingly simple things like unattached EBS volumes and oversized dev environments running 24/7.
“The FinOps governance framework they built changed how our entire engineering team thinks about cloud resources. Our cost-per-transaction dropped 42% and we haven't had a surprise bill since.
“Other firms gave us generic recommendations. OpenMalo gave us a spreadsheet with 47 specific actions, projected savings for each one, and implementation priority. We hit their savings estimate within 6 weeks.
$372K Annual Savings for a Payments Company
Cloud Cost Transformation at NexGen Payments
How we reduced cloud spend by 36% for a payment processing company — cutting $31K/month through right-sizing, reserved instances, and waste elimination without any performance degradation.
Cloud costs growing faster than revenue
NexGen Payments was spending $87K/month on AWS — up from $52K just 12 months prior. Engineering teams were spinning up resources without cost visibility, and nobody knew which teams or products were driving the spend growth.
Our Approach: 1-week cost audit, immediate waste cleanup ($14K saved in week 1), right-sizing implementation over 3 weeks, reserved instance purchases at month 2, and FinOps governance framework rolled out at month 3 — sustained 36% cost reduction.

Based on 110+ optimization engagements, our average client saves 35% on cloud spend. Companies with no prior optimization typically save 30–45%. Companies that have already done basic right-sizing still see 15–25% additional savings from reserved capacity and architectural optimization.
