optimization process
We do more than just cost optimization. We dig deeper into your business, study your infrastructure, and identify every opportunity to improve it, implementing approaches and practices that prepare it for any challenge.
Discovery
Initially, our delivery managers engage in a detailed discussion about the specifics of your business and your expectations regarding optimizing its infrastructure. This helps us to align with our expertise and understand the value we can bring you.
Inventory and resource analysis
Next, our team comprehensively analyzes all the cloud resources used in your environment. We study resource usage, infrastructure stability, performance, and associated costs to identify optimization opportunities and ensure that you are not overpaying for resources you do not use.
Plan compilation and approval
Following this, we compile a detailed work plan to achieve the observability, stability, and efficiency that is necessary to optimize your infrastructure. This includes improvements that you initially desired, as well as potential enhancements identified during the audit.
Implementation of monitoring and cost tracking
After the work plan is approved and the contract is signed, we begin work by implementing processes and tools for precisely monitoring load indicators, performance, and resource consumption. This ensures that the impact of changes to the infrastructure is maximally visible and measurable in real time.
Choosing appropriate resource sizes and cloud services
Based on an analysis of your needs and resource requirements for all your applications and services, we evaluate the pricing models and features of various cloud services to choose the most economically advantageous and efficient ones. If your current service fits best, we instantly work on Azure cloud cost optimization, AWS cloud cost optimization, Google cloud cost optimization, etc.
Usage optimization
Choosing a cloud service and deploying resources there, we work on maximizing their use by implementing various approaches and practices to reduce costs and improve performance.
Storage optimization
We assess your data storage requirements and implement strategies to optimize costs and increase the reliability of storage, exchange, and data access policies to enhance the resilience of your infrastructure.
Auto-scaling and load balancing
After optimizing resource usage and data storage, we implement auto-scaling and load balancing to ensure the necessary resources for efficient peak load processing while avoiding redistribution during periods of low demand.
Continuous monitoring and optimization
Cost optimization for cloud services is a continuous process. Therefore, the processes, practices, and tools we implement allow for regular cost data review and analysis, resource usage monitoring, and identification of further optimization opportunities.

How to Optimize Development Costs: Strategies and Best Practices
A few years ago, the market was in a much more favorable position, allowing you to make money much easier and make much larger investments in market research, testing new hypotheses, etc. Any unoptimized costs were not so noticeable against the background of the rapid growth of the market, which provided equally rapid growth for many companies.Now, however, the market is in a position where all budgets are being greatly reduced, and investment in research and development is becoming riskier. Many companies now find themselves needing to better manage their costs rather than trying to enter new markets or provide groundbreaking solutions.It looks like this will continue in 2023 at best and maybe even to 2025. And to survive in these conditions for such a long time, it is not enough for companies to simply reduce costs. They need to optimize all of them. And that's why we're here.

Cloud Cost Optimization: How to Reduce Your Cloud Bill
This is not surprising because, in 2024, 80% of companies will be unaware of their mistakes in their cloud adoption and will overspend by 20 to 50%. If you haven't optimized your cloud, you're probably not spending your money in the right ways.Сost management and cost optimization best practices have a lot of overlap. When you’re working with the cloud, you should optimize it. Today, we're going to look at Mad Devs' cloud cost optimization experience, and also we will offer you nine important best practices for optimizing your cloud costs.

What Is FinOps and How It Changes Approach to Cloud Financial Management?
When a company adopts a hybrid, multi-cloud approach, it may struggle to optimize value and control cloud spend. One of the solutions in this situation would be FinOps.FinOps is the movement that has evolved spontaneously worldwide due to the environment created by on-demand cloud resources encountering no longer relevant technology management methodologies. This is a cultural shift and set of processes that have been called other names and probably will be called different names in the future.Early cloud adopters like Adobe and Intuit pioneered what is now known as FinOps around 2012 in San Francisco. Later, companies in Australia, such as Qantas, embraced similar practices, and by 2017, enterprises like BP and Sainsbury’s in London were developing FinOps across their cultures.FinOps emerged later. Initially, it was called “cloud cost management” or “cloud cost optimization.” AWS and others used “cloud financial management” before adopting FinOps, highlighting its cross-functional approach, akin to DevOps.Today, FinOps is going global, with companies like Nike and Southwest Airlines establishing FinOps roles and tech giants like Atlassian integrating it into their operations.This article is a comprehensive overview of FinOps, covering its definition, importance, and benefits. It delves into how FinOps optimizes cloud spending, outlining its principles and capabilities. The article also discusses the current status of FinOps, the role of the FinOps team, challenges during implementation, and best practices for efficient cloud spending management.

HIPAA Compliance on Cloud Infrastructure
Today, we will try to understand in general what HIPAA is and how we can comply with this standard in the software and infrastructure scope. Even though this is a standard, its technical requirements could be clearer in places, and implementation may vary from project to project so we won't go into the details here.I had extensive experience with planning infrastructure to comply with standards and legal regulations. One of my projects fell under HIPAA-regulated entities but closed before taking off. In another project, I developed infrastructure from scratch to comply with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), and it got certified. We won't delve into this intricate, extensive story right now. However, similarities in both cases significantly hindered productivity and quality during audit preparations.So, before we discuss HIPAA, let's briefly analyze these points:
