Measure service and spend together
Connect cloud cost to the workloads, environments and business services that consume it.

Cloud Cost & Reliability Review: What UK Teams Should Examine
What to examine when cloud spend is rising while releases, reliability or recovery are not getting better.
WHY IT MATTERS
The decision behind the question
A cloud-cost review that only hunts for cheaper resources can make the service harder to operate. Cost, architecture, release flow, observability and resilience should be reviewed together because savings that increase incident risk or slow delivery simply move the cost elsewhere.
PRACTICAL METHOD
How to work through it
Use the steps to move from assumption to evidence and then to a decision.
Remove avoidable operational waste
Identify idle resources, duplicated environments and manual release practices that add cost without adding resilience.
Test recovery assumptions
Check backup, failover, rollback and observability before optimising infrastructure aggressively.
Prioritise changes by outcome
Choose savings and platform improvements that reduce cost while preserving or improving delivery and recovery.
WHAT WE EXAMINE
Evidence worth collecting
- Workload architecture, utilisation and traffic patterns
- CI/CD, release frequency, rollback and environment sprawl
- Monitoring, incident recovery, resilience and ownership
- Cost drivers that do not improve reliability, performance or delivery
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Useful outputs, not shelfware.
We keep deliverables tied to decisions, delivery and ownership. The exact format changes with the workstream; these are the outputs we would expect to leave behind.

WHERE WE FIT
We do not need to replace your existing team to be useful.
Liditech combines cloud, DevOps and SRE review so cost reduction is considered alongside release safety, observability and recovery.
