Infrastructure spend that reflects what you actually use

Aptible surfaces right-sizing recommendations, automates scale-up and scale-down, and shows what you're spending in real time, so cost control doesn't require a dedicated project.

"Costs are down. We have visibility into the infrastructure and previously we had a lot of phantom containers running out there. We are running our primary applications at a fraction of the cost it was costing us before — and that's with ten times the users. It's incredible.”

On-demand cost optimization reviews with Aptible engineers for all customers

Most teams know they’re overprovisioned but can't justify the time and effort to fix it.

AWS has tools for finding waste, but they don’t tell you what to change or let you change it without leaving the console, pulling metrics, and coordinating with whoever owns the service. On Aptible, the recommendation and the fix are in the same place.

Horizontal autoscaling

production or enterprise

Scale container count up and down automatically based on CPU usage, with configurable minimums and maximums. Containers scale without restarting, so scale-downs don't interrupt running jobs or open connections.

Vertical autoscaling

Enterprise only

Automatically resize containers based on actual memory and CPU usage over time, without manual revisits as workloads change.

Container Efficiency Recommendations

See which app services and databases are over-provisioned, under-provisioned, or rightsized, with recommended container sizes, estimated monthly savings, and a single button to apply the change. Customers switching to CPU- or memory-optimized container profiles have reduced container costs by up to 50%.

Real-time cost estimates

Every Stack and Environment shows a live monthly cost estimate that updates as you provision, scale, or remove resources. Draft invoices give finance and leadership mid-month visibility into what you'll owe before the invoice arrives, and a billing-only role lets them access cost data without infrastructure permissions.

Infrastructure optimization support

Aptible's platform team reviews accounts proactively and surfaces cost-reduction opportunities you may not have found on your own: oversized container profiles, backup accumulation, shared endpoint candidates, and overprovisioned staging resources. Customers have reduced backup spend by up to 50% and cut monthly infrastructure costs by thousands of dollars through optimization reviews alone.

AWS DIY

Right-sizing recommendations

Dashboard surfaces over- and under-provisioned resources across app services and databases, using both CPU and memory data with no additional agent required

Compute Optimizer analyzes CPU by default; memory analysis requires installing the CloudWatch agent on every instance, a step most small teams skip

Acting on recommendations

Apply right-sizing changes in one click from the same dashboard

Resize resources manually; validate against peak load; coordinate deployment windows if required

Autoscaling

Horizontal and vertical autoscaling configured in the dashboard, no infrastructure changes required

Configure Auto Scaling Groups, target tracking policies, and CloudWatch alarms per service, each independently

Cost visibility

Live monthly estimates at the Stack and Environment level, updated as resources change

Cost Explorer aggregates spend after the fact; per-application visibility requires a tagging strategy that's expensive to retrofit and hard to maintain

Backup cost control

Per-database retention policy, Terraform-configurable, with per-database exclusions for dev/staging

RDS backup settings and S3 lifecycle policies managed separately per database; cost implications aren't surfaced in context

Billing access

Billing-only role for finance team access without infrastructure permissions

Correctly scoping a read-only billing IAM policy takes time; in practice it gets skipped or broadened

Reclaim spend from infrastructure you provisioned at launch and never revisited

Container sizes from early sprints don't get revisited, and the cost compounds quietly. Container Efficiency Recommendations surface what's worth changing and how much, so right-sizing happens instead of getting deprioritized indefinitely.

Scale with demand instead of provisioning for peak traffic

Pre-provisioning for peak traffic means paying for that capacity whether demand justifies it or not. Horizontal autoscaling scales container count up when traffic spikes and back down when it drops, so infrastructure spend reflects actual usage, not worst-case assumptions.

Keep costs visible and predictable as the team grows

As more engineers provision resources and environments accumulate, it becomes hard to know what you're spending until the invoice arrives. Real-time cost estimates, configurable backup retention, and a billing-only role for finance give teams the controls to stay on top of spend without making it anyone's full-time job.


Teams working with Aptible's platform engineers on regular cost reviews have cut monthly spend by thousands of dollars on resources they didn't even know to look at.
