This is an interesting post...though I'm surprised to see this kind of optimization occur so late stage/as large as Canva.
There's quite a few anti-cloud opinions in the comments but for anyone who is hosted on S3 and would like this same level of automated analysis for cost savings on S3 (and other AWS services), we basically profile for this out-of-the-box on Vantage and it's free to get an optimization check to see savings: https://www.vantage.sh/ https://www.vantage.sh/
Not meant to be as shameless of a plug, but seems very relevant to the topic at hand for onlookers.
- Solvency 3y ago"I'm surprised to see this kind of optimization occur so late" Every single day I read the trope on HN that "premature optimization is the root of all evil". So, these guys literally followed HN's creed.

More likely, this is happening now simply because the financial environment has changed and companies are now giving increased weight to projects that save money over those that add features.
