I will audit and cut your AWS rds and aurora database costs
AWS Database Engineer, Data Pipelines and Cloud Cost Optimization
About this Gig
Is your AWS RDS bill growing faster than your traffic? I run 600+ production AWS databases every day and I find the waste most teams miss.
What I check:
- Idle and oversized instances (CPU, memory, connections, IOPS from CloudWatch)
- Rightsizing and Graviton moves
- Storage waste (io1/io2 vs gp3), snapshot and backup sprawl
- Multi-AZ, read replicas and dev/test running 24x7
- Reserved Instances and Database Savings Plans, bought in the right order (right-size first, reserve last)
How it works: you create a read-only IAM role from my CloudFormation template. No write access, no access to your data. I run my scanner and deliver a clear report with dollar savings per item and step-by-step fixes.
Why me: 12 years in databases, SOC 2 and HIPAA environments, built a chargeback model that cut shared RDS costs 10x.
Please message me before ordering with your number of instances and monthly RDS spend.

FAQ
Do you need admin access to my AWS account?
No. You create a read-only IAM role from my CloudFormation template. I cannot change anything and you can delete the role any time.
Will you see my data?
No. I only read billing, instance metadata and CloudWatch metrics. I never connect to your databases or read table data.
Which database engines do you cover?
RDS PostgreSQL, Aurora PostgreSQL and MySQL, RDS MySQL, MariaDB and SQL Server. ElastiCache on request.
