šŸ‘‹ Hey Product Hunt! Since launching the first version of Antimetal, the platform has gained 1,000+ customers that use Antimetal to help reduce their AWS spend. For the past several months, we've been working really hard to improve the app by incorporating our customer's feedback. Hereā€™s whatā€™s happened since we last launched: ā€¢ Weā€™ve added RDS support ā€¢ Updated our EC2 algorithm ā€¢ Re-designed the dashboard ā€¢ Re-factored our infrastructure to Go ā€¢ Added comprehensive alerts for new savings ā€¢ Added 1,000+ customers (when we launched on PH, we only had 35!) ā€¢ If youā€™re on AWS credits, you automatically qualify for our Startup program! ā€¦and a lot more In fact, weā€™re so confident in our new product, that if we donā€™t find you savings, weā€™ll pay you. You can find out more on our website. We loved your feedback on our first launch and would love to hear from you again. Let us know what you think and how we can keep improving. Oh, and if you havenā€™t already, run a free read-only savings analysis to see how much you can save šŸ‘‰ https://www.antimetal.com/

@mprkhrst major strides since your first PH launch. Being a heavy AWS user at Videobolt, your updates definitely piqued my interest. Love the confidence in your product! I'll be checking out that free analysis. Here's hoping for Product of the Day!

Hi hunters šŸ‘‹ I'm Shreyas, co-founder and CTO here at Antimetal, and Iā€™m super excited to launch Antimetal 2.0! Weā€™ve learned a lot since we launched Antimetal a few months ago and have been working hard to incorporate customer feedback, add new features, and onboard 1000+ customersā€”ranging from startups to large enterprises. Hereā€™s what you can do with Antimetal 2.0: šŸ’° Maximize your Savings: Our AI-driven engine continuously monitors your usage patterns and generates personalized savings recommendations across RDS and EC2. šŸ”„ Continuous Spend Optimization: Antimetal automatically adjusts your savings recommendations to help you stay on top of your cloud spend. šŸ¤– Automate with Autopilot: Never miss a savings opportunity again. Just set it and forget itā€”itā€™s like having a DevOps engineer working for you 24/7! šŸ“ˆ Risk-Free Recommendations: Unused recommendations will be quickly sold, freeing you from unwanted commitments. šŸ”’ Secure and Compliant: We canā€™t access to the billing layer, preventing us from modifying your instances, changing your architecture, or accessing sensitive data. šŸ¤‘ Free: Startups get their first year of savings from Antimetal completely free! After that, we only take a small percentage of the savings we help generate. Antimetal is the simplest and safest way to save on AWS. Just like the last launch, weā€™d love to hear your feedback on Antimetal and would appreciate any questions or suggestions to help us continue improving our product. Itā€™s super helpful! It only takes a few minutes to onboard and start saving!
Shreyas Iyer
Iā€™ll be answering your questions for the next 24 hours! Feel free to ask about our product, our process for gathering feedback, how we acquire users, our plans for the future, or anything really!
Abhishek Iyer
Congratulations on the launch, team! Have been following your launch week from afar - excellent execution and vibes all round.
Luke Button
@abhishekiyer52 Thanks! It's been a hectic week, but worth it
Shreyas Iyer
@abhishekiyer52 Thanks, Abhishek! Always appreciate the support from you and the rest of Descope team.
Matthew Parkhurst
@abhishekiyer52 thank you! Hope the Descope team is well!

Congrats on the re-launch! Would love to hear what differentiates you from other market offerings? (Heard about a few, but not in this world so hard to compare.)
Shreyas Iyer
@esus Absolutely! Here are what I think are the three biggest: 1. Risk. Our algorithm takes into account tail-end risk of purchasing long-term commitments. We study your usage patterns and train a unique model for each customer to predict your future usage. This also means that your recommendations are highly personalized to your behavior. 2. Insurance. If we detect an instance going underutilized, we'll either automatically transfer it to another one of our users or list on the marketplace for you and credit back the difference out of our fee. 3. Price. We only charge 10% of the savings we help generate for you. This is by far one of the lowest rates in the market, and we're completely free for startups! If you'd like to learn more, head over to our website www.antimetal.com!

Antimetal is the dream of every indie hacker and entrpreneur who is about to start with complex infrastructure. Knowing that infrastructure costs are cut down to the absolute possible minimum and will not eat up the whole budget at the beginning is just awesome šŸ‘ŒšŸ» @mprkhrst @shreyasiyer
Shreyas Iyer
@jim_engine Thanks, Jim! Infrastructure costs are problem @mprkhrst and I saw across the board. We know the problem hits startups especially hard because you're trying to move fast and often don't have access to DevOps talentā€”that's why we offer the product for 1 year free to startups. However, even in large scale companies, there are so many resources, it's hard to optimize: the scale is just massive. Glad to hear you resonate with the problem we're solving! If you have any feedback on the product, would love to hear it!
Martha Patzer
Good luck @mprkhrst and team, and congrats! It's not hard to imagine how useful this is for people building products right now. Cool idea (and I really dig your above the fold on your site - hard to argue with that statement!)
Luke Button
@itspatzer thanks! We tested a few varieties to see what worked best
Igor Boky
Really nice one! I was spending last time days to reduce spending and still were not happy enough! Congrats on the launch!
Daniel Zaitzow
Launching soon!
Congrats on the launch!!!! The growth/new features seem like a big step up. Itā€™s great to see a platform so dedicated to helping users optimize their AWS spend and continuously evolving based on user feedback. The confidence to offer pay (if no savings are found) is a bold move. Iā€™m curious, with the incorporation of customer feedback and new features, how are you maintaining the user-friendliness of the platform, ensuring that both new and existing users can easily navigate and utilize the enhanced functionalities? (If not much has changed from a user perspective - feel free to ignore!
Luke Button
@dzaitzow shipping fast is important for us, glad itā€™s helpful
Alex (Sasha) Dolgov
Looks very exciting for startups! Can we use it if we don't have any AWS credits?
Shreyas Iyer
@alex_dolgov Yes! You can use Antimetal's startup program whether or not you are on AWS credits. Just submit an application on our homepage: antimetal.com! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

We use AWS a lot to host our clients' products, and I must say this is a really good idea! Now that I know about this product, I may use it in my startup. Great job and good luck! šŸ‘
Shreyas Iyer

Hey team, nice concept, is there support for GCP planned on the roadmap? I can see similar mechanisms with GCP CUDs or Flex CUDs?

Save 75% really stands out as an offer. I can't imagine AWS being happy with this :)
