It's easy to accidentally waste a lot of money on AWS. My company cut our costs from ~20k/month to ~6.5k/month with no degradation of UX or dev velocity. It was all due to unnecessary redundant builds and integration tests and lingering unused resources. We used the CloudForecast service to identify and track costs (https://cloudforecast.io/ https://cloudforecast.io/). An underrated side effect of this service is that making costs visible to the engineers incurring the costs can encourage them to spend less.
