About
Zesty is a cloud cost optimization platform that uses machine learning to continuously right-size AWS compute resources and automatically manage Reserved Instance and Savings Plan commitments. The platform connects to AWS accounts and analyzes usage patterns across EC2, RDS, ElastiCache, and other compute services, then automatically adjusts resource sizes and commitment purchases to minimize spend without requiring manual analysis or engineering intervention. This autonomous optimization approach differentiates Zesty from traditional cloud cost management tools that provide recommendations but leave execution to engineering teams.
