UpSystems reduces cloud spend for companies in Cyprus and for international teams. From Limassol we audit your AWS, Azure or GCP bill, right-size and clean up waste, plan savings plans and reserved capacity, and set up cost monitoring so the savings stick. We also model whether on-prem or repatriation would be cheaper — honestly, with numbers. Part of our DevOps outsourcing, from €500/month.

Cloud cost optimization — FAQ

How much can we realistically save?+

It varies, but double-digit percentage cuts are common on a bill that has never been optimised — idle resources, over-provisioned instances, forgotten storage and egress surprises add up. We measure before and after rather than promising a number up front.

Will optimising break things or hurt performance?+

No — we right-size to real usage with headroom, test changes, and keep autoscaling in place. The goal is to stop paying for capacity you never use, not to run everything at the edge of failure.

Is this a one-off or ongoing?+

Both work. A one-off audit finds the big wins fast; ongoing FinOps keeps them from creeping back as the architecture changes. Cloud spend drifts upward unless someone watches it.

Should we even be on the cloud — or move back on-prem?+

Sometimes repatriation is cheaper, especially for steady, predictable workloads. We build an honest on-prem vs cloud cost model so the decision is based on numbers, not fashion. We have written about when self-hosting beats paying per token.

What does it cost?+

A cost review is scoped up front; ongoing FinOps runs from €500/month. See pricing.
