GRUBX
● Read-only audit · results in minutes

We don't just find your cloud waste. We write and merge the fix.

GrubX helps AWS-heavy engineering organizations reduce cloud costs by continuously finding, implementing, and verifying infrastructure and application optimizations.

Non-destructive. No agents installed. No access beyond read-only Athena queries.

// the problem

Dashboards tell you what's expensive. They don't fix it.

Most cost tools stop at a report. Engineering still has to translate that report into a Terraform change, test it, and get it through review — and that work usually loses to the roadmap.

Findings pile up, untouched

Cost dashboards surface hundreds of "opportunities." Without a team dedicated to acting on them, most sit in a backlog behind feature work indefinitely.

Rightsizing needs a PR, not a report

Shrinking an EKS node group or tuning a Savings Plan means changing infrastructure code, testing it against production traffic, and shipping it safely.

Observability spend sprawls quietly

Unbounded metric cardinality and unfiltered log ingest in tools like Datadog can grow into a cost line as large as compute itself, unnoticed.

The execution model

From reading your billing data to merging the fix into your repository — GrubX runs the full path, not just the diagnosis.

01

The read-only audit hook

We run a non-destructive, read-only query over your AWS Cost & Usage Report (CUR) or Datadog log ingest pipelines to map exact infrastructure waste in minutes — no agents installed, no access beyond what's needed to read the data.

02

A dedicated engineering pod

A specialized SRE/DevSecOps pod is deployed directly into your environment — the same team from audit through remediation, not a rotating bench of consultants.

03

Direct code-level pull requests

The pod writes, tests, and opens clean Infrastructure-as-Code pull requests — Terraform, Helm, OpenTelemetry Collector configs — directly into your GitHub or GitLab repository, ready for your team to review and merge.

04

Outcome-based retainers

You pay a monthly execution fee while GrubX handles rightsizing EKS clusters, pruning metric cardinality, filtering log sprawl, and locking in permanent cost remediation — not a one-time engagement that drifts back to baseline.

Bottom line: GrubX bridges the gap between financial cost data and engineering execution — moving from manual advisory retainers toward a direct, code-level pull-request engine.

// working with grubx

Built for teams that take production access seriously

You keep control of every change. Access, review, and merge stay on your terms throughout the engagement.

Read-only, by default

Audits run against your CUR exports and Datadog logs with read-only access. Nothing is written to your environment until a PR is scoped and opened for your review.

SOC 2-aligned practices

Our engagement process, data handling, and access controls follow SOC 2 operational standards, so security review is straightforward.

You own every merge

Every fix ships as a pull request into your GitHub or GitLab repo. It goes through your normal review process — nothing merges without your team's approval.

Certified Datadog & OpenTelemetry reseller

As an official reseller partner, we can fold observability licensing directly into the same retainer as the cost optimization work.

// capabilities

Core delivery capabilities

Cloud modernization & AWS

High-availability cloud infrastructure, serverless migrations, multi-region architecture, and enterprise cloud modernization built to rigorous reliability standards.

DevSecOps & SRE

Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), CI/CD pipeline automation, Kubernetes orchestration, and continuous site reliability engineering for mission-critical platforms.

Data infrastructure & AI

Modern data warehouse engineering, scalable data lake pipelines (Snowflake/Databricks), and high-throughput backend infrastructure designed for enterprise analytics.

FinOps & cost optimization

Cloud spend audits, rightsizing and commitment strategy, and ongoing cost governance that keeps infrastructure budgets aligned with actual usage.

// who this is for

Built to bridge three teams that rarely share a dashboard

for engineering

Ship the fix without owning the backlog

Reviewed, tested pull requests land in your repo. Your team merges what it agrees with — no context-switching to chase down waste yourselves.

for finance

See the dollar tied to the diff

Every merged change is logged against the cost line it changed, so the monthly retainer is measured against real, attributable savings.

for platform teams

Permanent fixes, not a monthly report

Rightsizing, cardinality pruning, and log filtering are committed to your infrastructure code, so the savings hold after the engagement, not just during it.
