Surface and Fix Costly Configs, Anywhere They Live
Cloud Ex Machina identifies expensive defaults, inefficient behaviors, and high-cost architectures, and routes fixes to the right teams.
Configuration Checks
Flag oversized volumes, premium SKUs, and other costly defaults, with concrete recommendations and fixes delivered to the teams responsible.
- Flags misconfigurations tied to real services and teams
- Suggests safer, cost-effective alternatives
- Integrated into existing engineers workflows
Behavioral Spend Flags
Detect patterns like excess retries, noisy services, and high-fanout traffic, with root cause, impact, and actionable fixes for each.
- Detects behavioral cost drivers from logs, traces, and metrics
- Links patterns to services and teams
- Provides technical guidance to correct the issue
Architecture Fit Suggestions
Recommend lower-cost designs based on observed workload behavior, with savings estimates and actionable implementation guidance included.
- Matches recommendations to observed workload behavior
- Quantifies tradeoffs and expected cost impact
- Ready to be implemented by owning teams
Embedded Cost Policies
Enforce rules in CI, pull requests, and Infrastructure as Code deployments, catching cost-impacting changes before they’re deployed. Guardrails are version-controlled, team-scoped, and built to minimize friction.
- Flags cost-impacting changes before deploy
- Adapts to different team environments
- Maintains speed while enforcing standards
