Production-grade cost & reliability diagnostics
AKS helps engineering teams reduce database, cloud, and AI platform cost through production-grade diagnostics, automation, and senior architecture review. Every engagement is read-only by default, evidence-driven, and scoped before it starts.
Database Cost & Reliability Review
A senior read of where database spend goes — sizing, storage, I/O, replication — and the reliability risks that hide next to the waste. Findings ranked by impact and effort, with a 30/60/90-day plan.

Token spend, model selection, caching, and retrieval cost reviewed with the same discipline as a database. We measure usage, find the structural waste, and build a cost model you can forecast.
Learn more →Database Observability Review
You can't optimize what you can't see. We assess metrics, query insight, and alerting against the cost and failure questions that matter — then close the gaps.
Learn more →How we work
Reviews are read-only by default — diagnostics run against replicas, snapshots, or read-only credentials. We never need write access to deliver a review. Every finding cites the metric, query, or configuration it came from, so you can verify it independently.
We don't resell infrastructure or take referral fees, so recommendations aren't steered by commissions. And we don't quote a savings percentage before looking at your data — we quantify the opportunity we find in your environment and show the math.
Engagement tiers
Each review is available at three depths. Pricing is confirmed on a scoping call.
| Tier | Best for | Scope | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lite | First look / single database | One database or cluster, top findings | Written report |
| Standard | A production estate | ~3–5 databases or one platform, full findings | Report + live walkthrough |
| Deep | Complex multi-service estate | Full estate + remediation design | Report + walkthrough + advisory |
On results: AKS does not guarantee a specific savings figure. Each review delivers a quantified opportunity for your environment, with the underlying math — not a promised percentage.
Not sure which review fits?
