Cloud Cost Optimization Review for Web Applications
A practical guide to reviewing cloud cost drivers, deployment architecture, storage, logs, and service choices.
Cost review areas
Review hosting plans, unused resources, logs, storage, database choices, serverless usage, image delivery, build frequency, and monitoring retention.
Architecture tradeoffs
Lower cost should not come at the expense of security, maintainability, performance, or operational clarity. Recommendations need context.
Publishing notes
Add concrete examples and screenshots only when they are sanitized and do not expose private infrastructure details.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is cloud cost optimization?
It is the process of reviewing cloud usage and architecture to find waste, improve fit, and make cost drivers easier to understand.
Can cloud costs always be reduced?
No. Some costs are tied to real usage or reliability needs. The goal is to remove waste and improve clarity.
Should cost review happen before or after launch?
Both can help. Pre-launch review catches avoidable choices, while post-launch review uses real usage data.
