3. And a more in-depth guide on <https://www.divio.com/blog/how-to-estimate-cloud-costs/?utm_source=slack&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=costs|estimating cloud costs>
4. We give <https://www.divio.com/cloud-advice/?utm_source=slack&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=costs|free cloud advice> to companies thinking about how to make their cloud setup better. Sometimes they decide to go with Divio, sometimes they don't. But just putting it out there in case you'd want to have a chat about what your company is seeing/what your goals are. The sales guys will kill me :joy: if they find out I didn't also tell you people usually save up to 60% with us because of optimization.
I hope some of this is useful!
