Reduce Costs, Complexity and Dependencies

Technology choices directly impact long-term costs. Our Cost Reduction Analysis (CRA) service is designed to evaluate your product’s infrastructure and architecture to identify opportunities for reducing spend while maintaining or improving performance and scalability.

At devfor.net I offer a unique payment plan for CRA services to help startups and small businesses. A flat 20% of the savings based on a 5 year forward outlook. For example, if you were spending $2,000 on infrastructure per year and the CRA would reduce costs to $500 per year, you would save $7,500 over the next five years. My fee would then be $1,500, ultimately saving you $6,000. Often clients save much more than the five-year outlook given the non-linearity of cost and scale.

CRA - Broad Strokes

What We Analyze

• Infrastructure: Review hosting environments, cloud usage, and deployment models for efficiency.
• Architecture: Assess system design for scalability and cost optimization.
• Toolset: Examine frameworks, third-party services, and vendor dependencies.
• Efficiency: Identify bottlenecks that increase resource consumption and costs.
• Traffic Patterns: Align infrastructure with actual usage to avoid over-provisioning.
• Alternatives: Explore open-source, self-hosted, or hybrid options that replace expensive tools without sacrificing quality.

How CRA Help

• Lower Operational Costs: Reduce recurring expenses by eliminating unnecessary services.
• Smarter Resource Allocation: Optimize compute, storage, and networking usage.
• Vendor Independence: Minimize lock-in by adopting flexible and sustainable solutions.
• Seamless Transitions: Replace costly systems with efficient alternatives without disrupting operations.
• Future-Ready Strategy: Build a cost-conscious foundation that scales with your product’s growth.

Our CRA process ensures that every dollar spent on your technology stack is justified, efficient, and aligned with your long-term vision.
