As an engineer myself, I've experienced the anxiety that comes from buying Reserved Instances and Savings Plans with the hope that I didn't over- or under-commit. You can save big (50-60%) with these commitment plans -- or lose a lot -- depending on how those commitments are executed. It takes way too much time and becomes a full-time job, and distracts us from more critical business-facing tasks that are more meaningful to a business. As a software engineer, Cloud Management was always the thing I hated to do. Leadership often didn't care enough and wins were overshadowed by other business-facing features launched by other groups. I wanted to build a tool that shines a light on the important work DevOps engineers do. Usage is the result of years of hard work to make Cloud Management a frictionless and automatic experience for all. I'm excited to share Usage Flex RIs -- 57% off your EC2 spend with zero code change, zero downtime, and zero R&D work for 5 minutes of work. We find the most lucrative deals on the AWS RI marketplace -- and then sell them to our customers with guaranteed buyback. So you get the savings of a long-term 3-year RI with none of the lock-ins since we are contractually obligated to buy them back from you if you stop using it. Let me know if you have any feedback! Of course, you can ping me directly here: kaveh@usage.ai

Love to see it! Highly recommend
