This white paper is structured for two readers: the senior decision-maker who needs the executive summary in five minutes, and the practitioner who is about to enter a negotiation or optimization cycle and needs the full toolkit. The first ten pages stand alone for executives; the remainder is operational.
What you'll find
- Per-service cost-lever inventory across the 7 serverless services that dominate spend
- Lambda right-sizing model — memory, duration, concurrency, and Arm64 in one worksheet
- Compute Savings Plans applied to Lambda and Fargate — commitment sizing and break-even
- DynamoDB pricing-mode decision tree — on-demand, provisioned, and Reserved Capacity
- API Gateway cost comparison — REST vs HTTP vs WebSocket at production volumes
- EventBridge and Step Functions cost modeling at high event throughput
- Negotiated-rate options through your EDP and PPA for serverless workloads
- Case studies — three real engagements with 42 to 62 percent serverless cost reduction
- Appendix A — Lambda right-sizing worksheet with three worked examples
- Appendix B — serverless commitment portfolio model with sensitivity analysis
How to apply it
The framework is most leverageable 3 to 9 months ahead of a contract or commitment decision — new EDP, renewal, major service-tier shift, or significant architecture change. If you are already inside an active cycle, the appendix material is the highest-value section: the worked examples, redlines, and decision-tree templates are designed to be lifted directly into your own engagement.
If you would like a second-opinion review of your specific situation before applying the framework, we offer one-hour strategy calls at no charge for in-flight enterprise negotiations. Contact us with your context and we will respond within one business day.
