Three UK Businesses — How three UK businesses cut their AWS bills and stopped firefighting.

The Challenge

Three growing UK businesses — each running workloads on AWS without dedicated cloud expertise — were facing the same problem: unpredictable bills, recurring out-of-hours incidents, and no visibility into whether their infrastructure was secure or cost-efficient. They were spending time managing cloud problems instead of running their businesses.

What We Did

• Onboarded all three businesses onto CloudGrow managed services within five business days
• Conducted an AWS Well-Architected Framework Review for each workload — identifying cost waste, security gaps, and reliability risks
• Implemented automated cost controls, reserved instance planning, and right-sizing recommendations
• Deployed 24/7 monitoring with automated alerting and incident response
• Established quarterly architecture reviews and proactive patching schedules
