AWS, Google and Azure charge you the most for the thing you want most — traffic and scale. Egress and per-request fees are the hidden meter that turns a growing business into a bigger invoice. I help you move the parts that bleed onto infrastructure you own — and I tell you, honestly, which parts to leave alone.
No signup. No sales call. A real engineer reads your bill — me, not a chatbot or a sales team.
Sources are cited in your assessment. The pattern is always the same: the savings grow as you grow, because a server you rent flat doesn't charge you per gigabyte.
I read your actual cloud bill and architecture myself — I'm a senior infrastructure engineer, not a sales team — and hand you a decision-ready report:
Most "leave the cloud" pitches sell you a migration no matter what. I don't. If your bill is spiky, mostly idle, or dominated by managed services rather than traffic, moving it can cost more once you count the engineering time. The Assessment exists to find that out before you spend a cent on a migration.
Honest math beats a bigger invoice. "Zero ongoing cost" is a myth — someone always runs the servers. I price that in, then show you whether the savings still win. Often they do. Sometimes they don't, and I'll say so.
The fastest way to know if this is worth your time. Forward a recent cloud invoice (or a cost-explorer export) and I send back a one-page estimate of your flat-rate cost and your likely annual savings — with the egress line broken out. No obligation, no sales call.
Prefer email? Send your bill straight to ami@smallestbusiness.com. I reply within one business day. Your bill is read by me and never shared.
The person who reads your bill is the same person who designs the migration and runs the servers. No account managers, no handoffs, no junior doing the work a brochure promised a senior would. I'm not a reseller and not an affiliate — I make money when your infrastructure gets cheaper and stays boring, not when you buy more of something.
One engineer raises a fair question — what happens if I'm unavailable? I answer it head-on: everything I build is standard open-source you (or anyone) can run, fully documented, and yours — no lock-in to me. Here's how I handle that, why one person is an advantage, and where I'm honest about the big dependencies (including Cloudflare) →
