MANAGING AWS COST OPTIMISATION IN THE GEN AI ERA

ÉRIC PINET

CEO AND CO-FOUNDER, UNICORNE
The cost crisis AWS releases thousands of updates annually, each carrying cost implications that even experienced teams struggle to track. Database engines reaching endof-support and triggering RDS Extended Support, S3 storage class mismatches as usage patterns shift, and increased application logging or metrics queries can seem individually minor but are collectively significant.
Modern applications run across distributed architectures where everything connects to everything else, and costs interact in non-linear ways.

Since founding the company in 2018, Eric has led Unicorne, helping startups and SMEs optimise their AWS cloud investments.
