How to find companies using AWS that want to save costs? I’m building a tool that helps companies visualize their AWS costs and provide suggestions on how to optimize it. What’s the best way to find companies that use AWS that are spending more every single month? By AWS, i mean any product whether its S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, Redshift, etc. |

2. As someone else mentioned in this thread: job postings can be useful. You particularly want to look at job postings that mention AWS AND FinOps. FinOps = basically engineering to save costs for cloud costs. That is a very high signal they're investing in someone who can help them save costs (albeit a lot of job postings these days are fake, so it's not a 100% sure signal)
3. Combine the first 2 methods with headcount data from Linkedin or Cloudflare radar traffic data to find companies that are using AWS and growing the fastest, or having huge traffic spikes. Those are probably highly correlated with the desire to want to reduce AWS costs.
That is likely 99% of companies using AWS.
I doubt that gets anywhere though. >50% of the time the whole thing is political more than pure cost.
Technical blogs by the companies too, especially if they've actually blogged about reducing these costs before.
