Cloud and platform
Cloud cost optimisation
Cloud cost optimisation reduces a cloud bill without reducing resilience, through right-sizing, reserved capacity for steady load, architecture changes and removing what nobody uses. Hexploits measures the result against the twelve months of bills before the work started, and typically achieves a 10–30% reduction.

Who this is for
- Finance directors whose cloud bill has grown faster than the business.
- IT directors asked to justify a bill they inherited.
- AI companies whose inference and GPU costs are eating the margin.
What you get
Deliverables, not slogans. Each one appears in the statement of work.
- A cost analysis by service, environment and team, with the twelve-month baseline.
- A prioritised plan: quick wins, commitments, and architecture changes, each with its saving and risk.
- Implementation of the plan with change control.
- Cost allocation and alerts so the bill is visible before it arrives.
- A monthly cost report under managed support.
Our engineers work across the major languages, frameworks and cloud platforms. We build on the stack you already run, with technology choices explained in writing before work begins.
How it is delivered
The same four stages as every Hexploits engagement, applied to this capability.
Stage 1
Baseline
Twelve months of bills analysed and tagged. The baseline is agreed in writing so the saving is measurable.
Stage 2
Quick wins
Idle resources, over-provisioned instances, forgotten environments and unattached storage.
Stage 3
Commitments and architecture
Reserved capacity for steady workloads; serverless or reserved EU capacity where the pattern fits.
Stage 4
Govern
Budgets, alerts and a monthly review so the saving persists.
How success is measured
Every engagement agrees its measures and the measurement period in writing before work starts.
- Monthly cost against the baseline, reported for twelve months.
- Cost per customer or per transaction, where the business can use it.
- No reduction in availability or recovery objectives.

Director, Gradvisor
“Fantastic company and our development partner for Gradvisor, a social mobility careers platform with national ambitions. Extremely responsive and mission-oriented. Cameron owns any shortfalls humbly - rare for IT providers. Thinks like a client too.”
Director, JobVantage
“Working with Hexploits has genuinely been a pleasure, and I see them as my scaling partner for the foreseeable future as JobVantage grows. If you’re looking for a development team who combine strong AI/engineering capability with honesty, flexibility and a real interest in your business, I’d strongly recommend them.”
