As Metomic scaled, AWS became one of its largest and least predictable operating expenses.
Metomic helps customers see and govern data they couldn't otherwise account for. As the company scaled, its own cloud spend started behaving like the data its customers were trying to govern: fragmented, growing fast, and harder to plan against each month. AWS was one of the least predictable items on Metomic's P&L. Each service ran distinct workloads with distinct usage patterns, and engineering was focused on shipping product and analytics initiatives rather than tracking commitment opportunities. Coverage sat at zero. Every dollar of AWS spend went out at on-demand pricing.
As the platform expanded, cloud spend grew faster than Metomic's ability to manage it or connect it to financial forecasts. Metomic's standards for its own infrastructure had to match the standards it sets for its customers. Compliance posture was non-negotiable. No architectural changes. No engineering intervention beyond what was strictly required to stand up the engagement.
What Metomic needed was commitment coverage on services that had been running entirely on-demand, a forecasting model finance could fold into FP&A, and the financial risk of getting commitment calls wrong sitting with someone other than Metomic. Metomic would capture the savings from aggressive AWS commitment coverage. Cloud Capital would absorb the downside if actual usage fell short of forecast.
Implementation was limited to billing and account setup, IAM configuration, and data alignment. Cloud Capital integrated directly into Metomic's AWS Organization without changes to architecture or compliance posture. Cloud Capital's forecasting model connected AWS usage to Metomic's FP&A model, making gross-margin planning as predictable as any core expense. Finance and engineering moved from reacting to monthly bills to reviewing forecasts before commitments were made.
"We finally have a way to see what's coming instead of reacting after the bill lands. Cloud Capital has made cloud part of our regular planning process, not a surprise every month."
— Amy Beer, Finance & Operations, Metomic
Within 90 days, Cloud Capital delivered a 19.5% guaranteed savings rate against on-demand AWS pricing on new commitments, net of all Cloud Capital fees, with utilization underwritten under the commercial agreement. Commitment coverage moved from 0% to 54% as new workloads came online. Cloud Capital absorbed all utilization risk under the commercial agreement. Projected annualized savings exceeded $100,000 and continue to scale as coverage expands.
Engineering's cost-management workload dropped to 30 minutes per month.
"Before, we were making commitment calls with a lot of guesswork. Now we can see the data clearly and make decisions with confidence, freeing our team to focus on the product."
— Morgan Collins, VP of Engineering, Metomic
"We see spend predictability as part of operational security, ensuring the business scales responsibly without introducing financial or infrastructure risk." — Ben van Enckevort, CTO & Co-founder, Metomic
Metomic helps customers govern their data the way it should be governed. Now the company applies the same discipline to its own cloud infrastructure. Finance, engineering, and compliance work from one auditable model. Gross-margin forecasts hold. Commitment decisions get made with data instead of guesswork.
The reactive monthly bill review has been replaced by a planning rhythm that matches the rest of the business. Cloud is one of the largest line items on Metomic's P&L. Now it's managed like one, with finance and engineering working from the same forecast, and the financial risk of optimization sitting where it belongs.
Achieved within 90 days. No engineering intervention, no architectural changes.
We finally have a way to see what’s coming instead of reacting after the bill lands. Cloud Capital has made cloud part of our regular planning process, not a surprise every month.
