Stabilization & Cost Control Sprint
Measurable results in 14 days
Your cloud costs are rising, your services are going down, and your team can't keep up? In 14 days, we stabilize your most critical services and reduce your cloud costs. No audit report that ends up in a drawer. Instead, senior engineers who take ownership and deliver concrete results.
Proven: 70 % cloud cost reduction at an enterprise software company (300+ employees) through targeted infrastructure optimization.
ChallengesWhy rising cloud costs and unstable services are your biggest risk
Cloud infrastructure grows fast. But without clear ownership, what grows most is the bill. At the same time, incidents pile up and your team only reacts instead of innovating. We know this spiral well.
Uncontrolled cloud costs
Your monthly cloud bill keeps rising, but nobody can explain where the money goes. Resources run around the clock even though they're only needed for hours. Without transparency, there is no control.
Recurring outages and instability
The same services keep going down. Alerts come at night. Workarounds become permanent states. Every outage costs money, trust, and nerves. Yet there is never enough time to fix the root causes.
Lack of observability
You don't know how your services are performing — until they fail. Without metrics, alerts, and dashboards, you're flying blind. That's why your team reacts instead of being proactive.
Technical debt as a bottleneck
Every feature runs on infrastructure nobody wants to touch. Refactoring gets postponed because day-to-day work takes priority. The debt grows, velocity drops.
No ownership, just tickets
External service providers deliver recommendations but implement nothing. Internal teams are overloaded. Between analysis and impact, there is a gap that keeps widening.
BenefitsOur sprint: ownership instead of PowerPoint
We don't send consultants who present slides. We send senior engineers who take responsibility. In a focused 14-day sprint, we stabilize your most critical services and reduce your cloud costs. The difference: we implement directly.
70 % cloud cost reduction — proven
At an enterprise software company with 300+ employees, we reduced cloud costs by 70 %. Through targeted rightsizing, eliminating unused resources, and infrastructure refactoring. This result is not a promise — it's a documented reference.
14 days to measurable results
No months-long assessment. No waiting for approvals. After 14 days, you have concrete improvements: more stable services, lower costs, clear observability. ROI is typically visible within the first month.
Ownership, not ticket processing
Our engineers don't work around your team. They integrate, take responsibility for the affected services, and solve problems at the root. That's what sets us apart from traditional consulting firms.
Immediately actionable results
At the end of the sprint, you don't receive a report with 200 recommendations. Instead, you get implemented measures, working dashboards, and a prioritized plan for everything that takes longer.
ProcessFrom kickoff to impact in three phases
Our sprint is not a rigid program. We adapt the focus to your most urgent problems. Nevertheless, every sprint follows a proven structure.
-
Analysis and ownership (Day 1-3)
Our senior engineers gain a complete picture in the first three days. We analyze your cloud infrastructure, identify the biggest cost drivers, and map unstable services. At the same time, we take technical ownership of the most critical areas.
Complete picture of your infrastructure and clear ownership
-
Stabilization and quick wins (Day 4-10)
In the second phase, we implement. Observability quick wins first: metrics, alerts, dashboards for the critical services. In parallel, we eliminate the biggest cost drivers — unused resources, oversized instances, missing autoscaling configurations.
Immediate cost reduction and stability improvement
-
Results and roadmap (Day 11-14)
In the final phase, we consolidate the results. You receive working observability stacks, documented cost savings, and a prioritized refactoring roadmap for the next steps.
Documented results and a clear plan for the future
ServicesWhat the sprint concretely delivers
Each sprint is individually tailored to your situation. The following deliverables are typical for a 14-day engagement.
Technical ownership for the sprint period
Our engineers take full responsibility for the affected services. No back-and-forth shuffling of tickets. We solve problems instead of documenting them.
Observability quick wins
Metrics, alerts, and dashboards for your most critical services. Based on Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry — the industry standard for vendor-neutral instrumentation.
Cloud cost analysis with concrete action plan
We identify unused resources, oversized instances, and missing commitment strategies. Along with that, we deliver a concrete plan showing where and how much you can save.
Immediate cost reduction
We implement quick wins directly: rightsizing, termination of unused resources, adjustment of autoscaling policies. These measures take effect immediately and typically offset the sprint costs.
Stability plan for affected services
A clear plan describing which services are unstable, why, and which measures will sustainably improve stability. Not generic, but specific to your architecture.
Prioritized refactoring roadmap
Everything beyond the sprint scope is prioritized and captured in a roadmap. You know exactly what to do next — and in what order.
ReferencesResults that speak for themselves
Cloud cost reduction
At an enterprise software company (300+ employees), we reduced cloud costs by 70 % through targeted infrastructure optimization and rightsizing. The key: technical ownership, not just consulting.
Fewer outages
A SaaS provider with 80 employees suffered from recurring production outages. Our team introduced fault-tolerance mechanisms and improved delivery processes within two weeks.
Production-first engineering
We always think of software including operations. Reliability, observability, security, and cost control are part of our work from day one.
Stabilization & Cost Control Sprint — let's talk about it
Let us discuss how we can support your team.
“Ownership instead of ticket processing — that's not a slogan, it's how we work. We take responsibility for the systems we touch. When your services are unstable and your cloud costs are exploding, we don't wait for a ticket. We solve the problem.”
