Cost Optimization

AI-Powered

Cut cloud costs,
automatically

Stop overpaying for cloud infrastructure. Substrate agents continuously analyze your workloads and automatically rightsize resources, leverage spot instances, and eliminate waste — all without impacting performance.

Here's what you get out of the box:

  • Real-time cost tracking and analytics
  • Automatic resource rightsizing
  • Spot instance optimization

What teams are saying

Trusted by engineering teams
running production Kubernetes

Join the growing number of platform and DevOps teams who trust Substrate for Kubernetes management and optimization.

Dataflow

Substrate cut our Kubernetes operational overhead by 70%. The automatic resource optimization alone saved us $40k/month — and we didn't have to change a single deployment.

Marcus Chen

VP Engineering / Dataflow

We went from spending 2 days a week on cluster maintenance to maybe 2 hours. Substrate's agents handle the optimization while we focus on building features.

Sarah Kim

SRE Lead / ScalePod

After struggling with Kubernetes complexity for months, Substrate made everything click. Multi-cluster management, secrets, domains — all in one place.

Alex Rivera

CTO / CloudNative

Substrate let us migrate 50 microservices across 3 cloud providers without downtime. The unified dashboard is a game-changer for our platform team.

James Park

Platform Lead / Orchestra

acme

We evaluated every Kubernetes platform on the market. Substrate's cost optimization and multi-cloud support put them in a league of their own.

Emily Zhang

Head of Infrastructure / Acme Corp

The audit trail and RBAC features made our compliance team happy, and the developer experience made our engineers productive. Rare to find both.

Mike Thompson

CISO / FinanceStack

Rolling out auto-scaling and spot instances used to be a week-long project. With Substrate, we configured it in an afternoon and saved 45% on compute.
