Problem

Cloud infrastructure teams often struggle with runaway compute costs, paying full on-demand prices for production workloads and leaving non-production resources running even when idle. Manual cost optimization is time-consuming and error-prone, and most teams lack the tooling to enforce governance policies across cloud accounts.

Solution

Lightwing provides automated cloud optimization software that reduces compute costs for AWS, Azure, and DigitalOcean workloads. The platform uses ComputeGroups to optimize production resources with AWS or Azure Spot instances while maintaining stable high availability, and AutoStopping to eliminate charges for idle non-production resources like QA, staging, and development machines. Policies, including TTL (time to live) rules, govern cloud usage across accounts and catch even smaller costs like EBS volumes. Teams can connect their cloud accounts and implement savings automation in under 60 minutes, with the Smart Advisor providing immediate savings estimates by bucketing resources based on usage patterns and state tolerance.

Target Audience

Primary customers are small to large businesses running production and non-production workloads on AWS, Azure, or DigitalOcean who want to reduce cloud compute spending through automated optimization.

Features

ComputeGroups for production workloads that leverage AWS Spot or Azure Spot instances while maintaining reliable high availability
AutoStopping for non-production resources that automatically halts instances when not in use, ensuring users never pay for idle machines
TTL-based Policies with dynamic filters using tags, IDs, or entire user accounts for complete cloud usage governance
Smart Advisor tool that analyzes cloud resources and generates immediate savings estimates within 60 minutes of sign-up
Analytics dashboard, automated schedules, cloud dashboard, and API access for programmatic management
Deployment integrations with existing tools and workflows
Enterprise features including Single Sign-On (SSO) and product customizations
