Aakhya.AI - Intelligent Cloud Cost Optimization Platform - Sell Project

Akhya.AI — Full Description Overview Akhya.AI is an AI-powered cloud cost optimization platform for startups and growth-stage teams. Connect AWS in minutes with read-only IAM access. Our platform analyzes infrastructure and spend, surfaces waste, forecasts burn, and delivers prioritized savings recommendations — without a dedicated FinOps team. Tagline: See Through the Cloud. Save Smart with Akhya.AI. -- What We Do Akhya.AI acts as your AI cloud cost advisor. We turn raw AWS billing and infrastructure signals into clear, actionable guidance so you reduce spend before it impacts runway. Core capabilities: AI-powered infrastructure audit — Detect over-provisioned compute, reservation gaps, and savings-plan inefficiencies Real-time cost forecasting — Understand current burn and projected spend Fix recommendations — Prioritized, best-practice actions to cut waste Secure cloud onboarding — Guided IAM setup with least-privilege, read-only access -- How It Works 1. Connect Your Cloud Secure AWS connection via IAM Role (recommended) or access keys for evaluation. Cross-account role with External ID for secure assumption Read-only permissions scoped to Cost Explorer and EC2 metadata Copy-paste trust and permissions policies in a guided wizard Credentials encrypted; no plain-text storage AWS permissions we use (read-only): ce:GetCostAndUsage ce:GetDimensionValues ce:GetReservationUtilization ce:GetSavingsPlansUtilization ec2:DescribeInstances ec2:DescribeReservedInstances 2. AI Infrastructure Analysis Once connected, Akhya.AI pulls cost and infrastructure data and runs it through our AI analysis engine (OpenAI) to: Scan usage patterns across services and accounts Diagnose architectural inefficiencies Identify rightsizing, reservation, and waste opportunities Correlate spend with actual resource utilization 3. Actionable Insights You receive prioritized output — not just charts: Estimated savings per recommendation Best-practice fixes aligned to AWS guidance Spend forecasts for runway planning Clear next steps your engineering team can act on -- Free-Tier Infrastructure Architecture Akhya.AI is built on a serverless, pay-per-use stack so we can offer a free tier without heavy fixed infrastructure cost. That efficiency is passed through to customers. ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Customer AWS Account │ │ (Read-only IAM Role · Cost Explorer · EC2) │ └────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────┘ │ Secure API reads ▼ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Akhya.AI Serverless Backend (AWS) │ │ AWS Lambda · Node.js 18 · us-east-1 · GET /insights │ │ • Invoked on demand — no always-on servers │ │ • Scales to zero between analysis runs │ │ • Pay only for compute time used per request │ └────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ AI Analysis Layer │ │ OpenAI — infra diagnosis & recommendation generation │ └────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Frontend (Vercel · Next.js 15) │ │ Edge-deployed · Static + SSR · Global CDN │ │ • No dedicated app servers │ │ • Low marginal cost per user session │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Why this matters for the free tier: | Component | Architecture choice | Free-tier benefit | |-----------|---------------------|-------------------| | API | AWS Lambda (serverless) | No idle server cost; scales to zero | | Web app | Vercel + Next.js 15 | Edge CDN; no VM provisioning | | Data access | Direct AWS API reads | No persistent data warehouse at onboarding | | Compute model | Event-driven, per-analysis | Cost tied to usage, not capacity | | Security | IAM Role + External ID | No credential vault overhead for basic tier | Result: A lean, event-driven architecture where infrastructure cost grows with usage — enabling a sustainable free entry tier for startups to connect, analyze, and get initial insights at no charge. -- Technology Stack | Layer | Technology | |-------|------------| | Frontend | Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS | | UI | shadcn/ui, Framer Motion, Three.js | | API | AWS Lambda via Serverless Framework | | Cloud SDK | AWS SDK — Cost Explorer, EC2 | | AI | OpenAI | | Deploy | Vercel (web) · AWS us-east-1 (API) | -- Cloud Support | Provider | Status | |----------|--------| | AWS | Available — IAM Role & access key onboarding | | Google Cloud | Coming Soon | | Microsoft Azure | Coming Soon | -- Who It's For Seed to Series B startups on AWS Engineering-led teams without dedicated FinOps CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and technical founders managing cloud spend -- Getting Started 1.
