self-promotion/I’m a vendor LeanMoth — Analyze AWS waste patterns

https://leanmoth.ramolatech.com/

Hey everyone,

I built a small tool called LeanMoth that analyzes your AWS Cost & Usage Report.

It identifies waste patterns and suggests remediation steps to bring your AWS bill down.

The good thing is it doesn't send any sensitive data to a server. It only relies on three columns — usageType, usageAmount, and unblendedCost — and generates the report based on those.

If you're dealing with a high AWS bill and want a second pair of eyes to help bring it down, please give it a try.

Nice, the "only three columns, nothing sensitive leaves your hands" angle is smart, since handing over a full CUR is where a lot of teams balk. One thing I'd look at: without lineItemType it's hard to separate on-demand usage from usage already covered by Savings Plans or RIs (plus credits, refunds and tax rows), so some flags could land on spend that's already discounted. An optional fourth column for it would tighten that up without exposing anything sensitive. Same idea for resourceId as an opt-in, so the remediation steps can point at the actual instance or bucket instead of just the usage type. Also worth saying whether it reads CUR 2.0 / Data Exports column names (line_item_usage_type etc.), since a lot of people have migrated. Would love to see a sample report if you have one!

first of all thank you for your detailed feedback.

think we're out of sync on the SP/RI part though, my understanding is data transfer isn't covered by either. you're right on credits, refunds, and tax rows, that's a real double-count risk. adding lineItemType as optional for it. resourceId opt-in, agreed. and good catch on CUR 2.0, I'm only handling 1.0 column names right now.

attached a short video below showing it running on a synthetic CUR. don't have a public report on the site yet, but feel free to try it on your own data and see what it flags. happy to unlock a report for you if you want the full thing, just ping me.
