Cloud cost optimization

Optimize cloud costs with performance testing

In cloud-based applications, infrastructure costs significantly depend on how intensively your application uses system resources.
Inefficient code is usually one of the main reasons for excessive resource consumption which drains your funds.

By conducting performance testing with PFLB, you can optimize your code, reduce redundancies, and maximize your ROI.

The numbers tell a story of their own

As global companies increasingly leverage cloud resources, the associated costs are on the rise. Unfortunately, a significant portion of these expenses results from overspending on cloud infrastructure due to inadequate optimization strategies.

$600 bln

According to Gartner’s report, business cloud costs are expected to exceed $600 billion in 2023.

$12 mln

For larger companies, 31% of enterprises spent more than $12 million on public cloud services each year.

$1.2 mln

In 2022, more than half (53%) of small and medium-sized businesses spent over $1.2 million annually on cloud services, accounting for nearly half of their entire technology budget.

70%

Research shows that companies who fail to optimize their cloud costs may overspend up to 70%.

Developers may not have a clear understanding of the costs associated with their applications in the cloud, while those in charge of funding may struggle to assess and influence the results.

PFLB can provide clear insight to both developers and decision-makers.

We can identify the causes of overspending and provide guidance on optimizing costs.

We accurately estimate the cost of your application’s workload even before its release.

Already in production? We identify which operations are consuming the most capacity and budget in the cloud.

Learn what our strategy is all about

The core cause of overspending is inefficient code. That’s why we focus on optimizing code efficiency to achieve the best price-performance ratio.

At PFLB, we offer comprehensive cloud cost optimization services that include the following:

Conducting super-realistic load testing that mimics real user actions and is free of unconscious bots interference.
Accurately measuring resource consumption and identifying operations that are draining your system’s performance.
