Cloud operations dashboards for cost, security, and infrastructure governance.

Senior cloud, FinOps, and software consulting

Cloud clarity. Controlled spend. Resilient systems.

Potacium works with engineering, finance, and leadership teams to harden AWS estates, control cloud and AI spend, govern change, and improve the performance of the applications that revenue depends on.

What Potacium does

Operating discipline for cloud platforms that have outgrown informal control.

Potacium starts where generic recommendations stop: real accounts, real bills, real incidents, real deployment paths, and the human decisions behind them.

The goal is not another slide deck. The goal is a cloud operating model your team can run with: stronger guardrails, accountable spend, clearer architecture, and production systems that behave better under pressure.

Consulting services

Focused expertise where cloud, cost, security, and software meet.

01

AWS Security Controls

Establish the AWS control foundation expected by security teams, auditors, and executives without slowing engineering delivery to a crawl.

  • Control audits across identity, logging, encryption, and networks
  • Account restructuring, landing zone review, and remediation plans
  • Guardrails, exception handling, evidence, and governance cadence

02

FinOps and AI Cost

Bring financial clarity to cloud and AI usage with practical optimizations, ownership models, and decision data leaders can trust.

  • Spend audits, anomaly analysis, and commitment review
  • Rightsizing, storage, data transfer, and workload optimization
  • Forecasting, tagging, chargeback, showback, and unit economics

03

Continuous Cloud and FinOps Governance

Build the repeatable operating system that keeps cloud and FinOps decisions healthy after the first cleanup is complete.

  • Executive, finance, platform, and application-team review rhythms
  • Dashboards that separate signal from reporting theater
  • Policy-as-code, alerts, automation, and exception workflows
Cloud governance consulting
04

Emergency Support

Senior help when cloud, infrastructure, or application conditions require calm triage, fast stabilization, and practical follow-through.

  • Spend spikes, reliability incidents, exposure concerns, and regressions
  • Architecture, deployment, database, and network triage
  • Stabilization plans, immediate hardening, and post-incident actions

05

Application Optimization

Improve the software path end to end, from code and queries to networks, infrastructure, deployment topology, and architectural boundaries.

  • Profiling, tracing, query review, and bottleneck analysis
  • Database, cache, network, and infrastructure tuning
  • Architecture review, roadmap sequencing, and implementation support

Continuous governance

Make good cloud behavior the normal way work gets done.

Potacium builds practical governance loops around the decisions that usually drift: who owns spend, which controls are mandatory, when exceptions expire, and which architecture choices deserve a second look before they become expensive habits.

Security control evidence Control status, owner evidence, exception paths, and remediation commitments.
Cost accountability Allocation, unit metrics, forecasts, alerts, and recurring optimization reviews.
Architecture hygiene Reusable patterns for resilience, performance, data, identity, and network design.
Operational cadence Lightweight forums that keep cloud, FinOps, and security decisions moving.

How engagements work

Fast signal first. Durable implementation after.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Inspect architecture, bills, controls, telemetry, incidents, repositories, and delivery workflows.

  2. 02

    Prioritize

    Separate urgent risk from low-value noise and define the highest-leverage technical moves.

  3. 03

    Implement

    Work beside your team to ship controls, automation, tuning, restructuring, and reporting.

  4. 04

    Govern

    Leave behind operating rhythms that keep security, cost, and reliability improving.

Emergency support

When production, risk, or spend is moving faster than the plan.

Potacium brings senior technical judgment to urgent cloud, infrastructure, and application situations. The work is direct: understand the blast radius, stabilize what matters, and convert the response into a remediation plan your team can execute.

Common urgent scenarios

  • Unexpected cloud, data, or AI spend spikes
  • AWS security exposure, control gaps, or account drift
  • Production latency, reliability, or capacity degradation
  • Database, network, cache, or infrastructure bottlenecks
  • Architecture decisions being made under delivery pressure
