Platform Performance & Cost Audit
The technical assessment that tracks down runaway cloud bills, poorly written queries, and architectural inefficiencies — and gives you a prioritized map of where to act
Some systems work, yet they burn resources: cloud bills that grow for no clear reason, rising latency, costs that are impossible to explain to business units. The Platform Performance & Cost Audit is an in-depth technical analysis. It identifies where platforms, workloads, pipelines, or cloud environments are losing performance or generating unjustified costs. We combine engineering excellence with financial rigor and deliver a prioritized snapshot of inefficiencies: the starting point for every optimization engagement.
The service in brief
- Service
- In-depth technical assessment of the performance and costs of platforms, workloads, and cloud environments.
- When you need it
- Systems work but consume too much, or costs grow in ways that are hard to explain.
- R.O.C.E. phase
- Optimize: the second phase of the Miriade R.O.C.E. methodology (Recover · Optimize · Control · Evolve).
- Role
- It is the starting point for optimization: the targeted engagements derive from it.
- Scope
- Platforms, workloads, queries, pipelines, and cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments.
- Approach
- Engineering excellence and financial rigor, together.
- Output
- A prioritized map of inefficiencies: what to optimize first.
Hidden inefficiencies
Systems that work but absorb excessive financial and computing resources: this is where a technical analysis is needed before taking action.
Performance and costs under close review
The audit works on two fronts, technical and financial, and brings them together in a single actionable document.
Performance audit
In-depth technical analysis of performance: poorly written queries, bottlenecks, and architectural inefficiencies that degrade the system.
Cost audit
Analysis of costs and economic inefficiencies: where unjustified spending arises across cloud, data, and infrastructure.
Inefficiency map
A prioritized snapshot of inefficiencies: actions ranked by impact, so you know where to start.
First the diagnosis, then the treatment
Before you optimize — or buy hardware — you need to know where the real losses are.
Success stories
When the analysis finds the right cause, results often come without spending on new hardware.
Oracle optimization for sedApta
Critical latency and CPU spikes on the Oracle database behind sedApta brought the logistics core close to a standstill.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Platform Performance & Cost Audit?
An in-depth technical analysis that identifies where performance is lost and unjustified costs arise, and consolidates the findings into a prioritized map of actions.
Does it cover only cloud costs?
No. It covers performance and costs together, across public cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, including queries, pipelines, and architectural choices.
Will I have to buy more hardware or resources?
Often not. The audit separates what needs optimization from what really needs more capacity. In one real case, we cut wait time by 75% with no additional hardware.
What do you deliver at the end of the audit?
A prioritized snapshot of inefficiencies — performance and costs — with actions ranked by impact.
Is it the starting point for other optimization engagements?
Yes. The targeted engagements derive from the map — pipeline acceleration, FinOps, query and database tuning.
How does it start?
With the scope (platforms, workloads, queries, pipelines, cloud) and the symptoms or costs you want to explain.
Do you want to know where you are losing performance and money?
Tell us which systems concern you and which costs you want to explain. The audit gives you a prioritized map of where to act, based on impact.
