Exact steps

The Plainstack difference

The way infra should’ve been done in the first place.

Most startup stacks are over-engineered, over-provisioned, and under-scrutinized. We fix that with a structured audit and a clear path forward.

We go through every service, every resource, every line of spend. Nothing gets missed.

⚡

Fast delivery

Full audit delivered in 5–7 business days. No waiting months for an answer.

Not just findings — a prioritized, executable plan your team can ship immediately.

👥

Talent cost analysis

We flag when complexity is creating hidden engineering cost, not just AWS spend.

Optional execution

Want us to implement the changes too? Add on our retainer and we handle it.

It’s “you’ll never go back” better.

Founders who go through a Plainstack audit don’t just save money — they ship faster, sleep better, and stop firefighting infra issues every week. The ROI shows up on day one.

“We were paying $11k/month on AWS and had no idea why. Salih found $5,200 in monthly savingsin four days. That’s insane ROI.”

“I kept putting off the infra audit because I thought it would take forever. The whole thing took a weekand we got a roadmap we could actually execute. Wish we did this sooner.”

Common questions.

How long does the audit take?

For most startups, 5–7 business days from the time we get read-only AWS access. We don't drag it out.

Who actually does the work?

Salih Osmankovic — directly. You're not handed off to a junior contractor. Every audit is done personally.

Do you need production access to our AWS account?

Read-only IAM access is all we need. We never touch your infrastructure without explicit written approval.

Is there a minimum AWS bill size?

We work best with startups spending $2,000/month or more on AWS. Below that, the savings may not justify the audit cost.

Can we pause the retainer?

Yes. The retainer can be paused with 30 days notice and restarted anytime. No lock-in, no penalty.

What if the audit findings aren't that bad?

That's a great outcome — you'll know your infra is solid. Either way, you get a full written report and walkthrough, no asterisks.
