The Need for Smarter AWS Cost Optimization
Organizations leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS) often face hidden costs due to complex billing structures, underutilized resources, and inefficient Reserved Instance planning. While AWS offers tools like Cost Explorer, Trusted Advisor, and Budgets, many teams find them either too manual, too reactive, or lacking actionable insights.
CostQ addresses these pain points by delivering an automated, intelligent, and user-friendly platform that supports modern FinOps practices and brings visibility and predictability to cloud spending.
“Many businesses don’t even know they’re overpaying until it’s too late. With CostQ, our mission is to make AWS cost management transparent and effortless,” said the Cloudlaya product team. “We built this tool for the engineers, DevOps professionals, and CFOs who want a smarter way to manage their AWS bills without spending weeks analyzing spreadsheets.”
CostQ empowers startups and cloud teams to take control of AWS costs with zero friction, helping them scale smarter without wasting cloud spend”
