The three most common cost mistakes we see enterprises make when moving to the cloud.
Most cloud cost overruns don't come from the migration itself — they come from lifting infrastructure assumptions straight from on-premise environments into a pay-as-you-go world.
The first mistake is over-provisioning instances to match old peak-capacity planning instead of designing for autoscaling from day one.
The second is neglecting storage lifecycle policies. Logs, backups, and old build artifacts quietly accumulate and become a meaningful chunk of monthly spend within a year.
The third, and most damaging, is skipping a cost review cadence entirely. Cloud spend drifts fast without a recurring review built into the engineering process, not just finance.
On our engagement with Vantage Capital, addressing all three cut infrastructure costs by 28% within two quarters, without any reduction in platform reliability.
