ProsperOps
ProsperOps is a fully automated, multi-cloud cost optimization platform for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Eliminating cloud waste and managing spend is one of the most persistent challenges for FinOps teams. Cloud usage is inherently elastic, but the financial instruments used to manage cost like Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and Committed Use Discounts are rigid. ProsperOps bridges this gap by integrating automated rate optimization with intelligent workload optimization, allowing organizations to continuously align cost with usage without manual oversight.
Founded in 2018, ProsperOps helps FinOps and engineering teams reduce costs, mitigate financial risk, and eliminate the operational burden of cloud cost management. The platform is governed by customer-defined controls and operates autonomously in the background to execute thousands of real-time optimizations that respond to evolving usage patterns, architectural changes, and business demands.
