Proof in Action
FinOps audits uncover cash you didn't think existed. Here's what we found for a Series B fintech.
A Series B fintech was spending $840K/yr on AWS
In 14 days we found $216K in annual savings. Implemented in 30 days. Verified by billing.
Book an Audit →"Tayoca transformed our AWS spend overnight. The savings covered our entire FinOps project cost — and we're still saving $18K monthly 6 months later. Their engineering depth was the difference between theory and execution."

GitOps beyond Hello World: Where Most Fail and How to Win
From the trenches: production Go binaries corrupted by Helm upgrade, and how we engineered image validation gates and per-namespace CI-driven deployments that outlived the team that shipped them.
99.99% Ain't a Metric — It's a Culture
Kubernetes shared tenancy at scale. When $216K/yr uptime for 1M+ monthly API requests is on the line, reliability becomes maintenance.

About
We build products that pay for themselves and infrastructure you can trust at the same price.
We operate under the principle: every dollar forecasted, every hour instrumented, every service observable. FinOps and SRE aren't departments — they're the operating standard we embed from day one.
Metrics We Ship By
- Deploy to prod in ≤15 min, any cluster, any region
- Mean time to production recovery ≤5 minutes any incident
- Cloud bill ≤80% baseline calculated prior to engagement
Stop overpaying for cloud.
