Know the cost and tradeoffs of your AWS Workload before design begins

Modern FinOps starts too late — at deployment, after decisions are locked.

The OpsPilot brings cost foresight into planning by turning early intent (tickets, ideas, workload descriptions) into cost scenarios grounded in how your organization builds systems.
It infers architecture, surfaces tradeoffs and guides teams from first requirement through cost optimal operation.

What is The OpsPilot?

The OpsPilot is a predictive FinOps platform built for how AWS systems are actually designed and operated.

It learns how your organization builds infrastructure — instance families, network patterns, availability choices, storage defaults — and uses those signals to model realistic workload scenarios.

TOP infers likely architecture, estimates cost drivers and highlights tradeoffs before design decisions harden. Once deployed, it tracks reality against intent and continuously guides optimization as environments evolve.

WHY HASN’T FINOPS FIXED THE PROBLEM

Because every tool starts too late

No cost visibility at planning

Teams commit to work without knowing the financial impact. Architecture decisions get baked in before anyone sees the price.

Pricing calculators don’t understand workloads

Calculators require fully specified resources and assume clean isolation. Without workload-level modeling and environment context, estimates miss the real drivers of cost.

Engineers don’t use external tools

Dashboards and calculators live outside the workflow — so cost isn’t considered early enough.

TOP gives order-of-magnitude clarity when it matters most.
It helps teams answer:
  • Is this a $500/month service or a $50,000/month one?
  • Is this comparable to our other workloads?
  • Are we accidentally gold-plating the design?

By bounding expectations early, TOP prevents the most expensive failure mode in cloud:“We thought this would be cheap.”

TOP gives order-of-magnitude clarity when it matters most.
Forcing Explicit Tradeoffs
TOP doesn’t present a single number. It presents alternatives.
  • Default design: $4.8k/month
  • Cost-optimized: $2.1k/month
  • High-availability: $8.9k/month

This forces a real decision:
Which option are we choosing — and why?

Cost stops being a hidden consequence of architecture and becomes an explicit tradeoff.

Forcing Explicit Tradeoffs
Turn Estimates into Learning
Estimates are valuable when they create a baseline.

TOP lets teams ask:

  • Which assumption broke?
  • Did traffic exceed expectations?
  • Did infrastructure drift from the original design?
  • Did defaults inflate over time?

With intent captured early, deviations are explainable, optimization becomes targeted, and blame conversations disappear.

Turn Estimates into Learning
Close the Loop Once Workloads Are Live

Once deployed, TOP connects real usage back to planned intent — detecting drift, surfacing optimization opportunities, and feeding learnings into future decisions.

FinOps becomes continuous, not reactive.

Close the Loop Once Workloads Are Live

From Intent → Deployment → Optimization
 TOP stays with you across the full lifecycle.

Step 1: Plan

Before Architecture

TOP:

  • Infers likely architecture
  • Predicts cost & egress patterns
  • Flags risk
  • Suggests best-practice defaults
  • Provides cost gates before design

Value: Better prioritization, realistic budgets, no blind commitments.

Step 2: Design

Before Development

TOP does (ML + AWS signals + FinOps intelligence):

  • Generates cost-optimal configs using AWS best practices + ML defaults
  • Recommends endpoints, node sizes, storage classes based on real workload patterns
  • Models NAT, egress, inter-AZ paths using your VPC topology
  • Compares intent with peer workloads across your org
  • Continuously refines smart defaults with ML and historical data
  • Produces environment-aware, workload-aware guidance

Value: Teams build cost-efficiently from day one.

Step 3: Operate

After Deployment

TOP:

  • ML-backed workload aware live Optimization
  • Drift Detection
  • Ghost infra cleanup
  • Tagging hygiene
  • Cost anomaly insights

Value: Continuous efficiency without slowing velocity.

Access & Engagement Model

The OpsPilot is currently in closed alpha and available to a limited number of design partners.
During alpha, teams engage through a guided process to validate predictive cost models against real AWS environments and provide feedback that shapes product direction.
