The problem
Commitments — Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, committed-use discounts — pay for themselves on steady workloads. But size them too high and you’re locked into capacity you don’t use; too low and you leave the discount on the table. Most teams guess, and guess conservatively.
How Lizrd fixes it
Lizrd looks at your actual usage over time and identifies the always-on floor that’s safe to commit against — the steady baseline under the spiky top — so you can buy coverage for what you genuinely run around the clock, and keep on-demand for the rest.
The outcome
You capture the commitment discount on your steady spend without over-committing. It’s a pricing change, not an infrastructure change — and Lizrd keeps the picture current as your baseline moves.
“We under-committed for years because nobody could confidently say what our steady baseline was. Lizrd drew the line, so we committed to it without holding our breath.”
