There's no one silver bullet, as always, you just have to get really good at using Cost Explorer. Project 1: We reduced our EC2 bill by about $10k a month by moving to spot instances for our Continuous Integration servers Project 2: We saved another $10k a month by moving to CloudFront for our downloads, instead of using S3 directly Project 3: Finding and eliminating waste from years of tech debt. Saved $5k a month so far. As we go we need to spend more and more time to find the same amount of cost savings, it's a law of diminishing returns.
