$40M

$40M annual savings sustained

28%

Per-stream cost: down 28%

The challenge

A streaming media company’s AWS bill grew faster than subscriber revenue. Finance and engineering blamed each other; nothing changed.

What we built

FinOps practice with engineering-embedded discipline. Per-feature cost attribution. Storage-class optimization (glacier for archives). Reserved-instance + savings-plan portfolio. Continuous reference-architecture optimization.
