Archera Visibility and Commitment Management Solution

"Archera is a next-generation platform designed to help customers forecast, optimize, and insure their AWS commitments, unlocking flexibility and savings without long-term risk. Through Archera’s free SaaS platform, teams can model cloud usage, evaluate multiple savings strategies, and execute commitments in just a few clicks. Whether migrating to AWS, expanding infrastructure, or fine-tuning FinOps processes, Archera helps you plan and save confidently.

Archera introduces 30-Day Guaranteed Reserved Instances (GRIs), short-term, flexible alternatives to AWS Savings Plans and Reserved Instances. GRIs deliver the same deep discounts and coverage benefits as traditional 1- or 3-year commitments but with the freedom to terminate after 30 days. Customers can use GRIs to cover EC2, Lambda, Fargate, RDS, ElastiCache, OpenSearch, Redshift, SageMaker, and other AWS services that offer long-term commitments. They can receive up to 3 years of coverage while maintaining the ability to end usage anytime after 30 days. GRIs are ideal for workloads with unpredictable, transitional, or seasonal usage, such as migrations or evolving infrastructure. All platform features are completely free, and customers are only charged for any GRIs they utilize.

Archera empowers teams to go beyond historical cost analysis by integrating real-world business events such as expected growth, migrations, or deprecations directly into forecasts. Within the platform, users can create intelligent usage forecasts that incorporate business trends and infrastructure changes, develop custom commitment strategies or use Archera’s automated recommendations, compare the cost impact of different commitment strategies and discount programs before committing, and automate purchases, renewals, and exchanges based on selected strategies. This automation minimizes manual oversight and ensures maximum efficiency. Signing up for the free platform includes a savings analysis that identifies immediate opportunities for optimization.

Archera’s custom reporting and business intelligence (BI) package enables teams to connect their business data and processes with their cloud cost data to create powerful, drill-down-capable dashboards and reports. This unified view allows product owners, engineers, finance professionals, and executives to understand how every decision affects cloud spend and business performance. Unlike traditional cloud cost tools that stop at visibility or attribution, Archera’s custom reporting supports true cloud unit economics by integrating data such as sales, product usage, and operational metrics to measure the business impact of infrastructure decisions. Teams can create fully customized dashboards, design bespoke reports tailored to their organization’s needs, combine product and sales data with cost and usage metrics to analyze profitability, and align engineering and finance teams around shared, data-backed insights.

Archera delivers a unified experience for forecasting, optimization, execution, and reporting—all in one place. Its key benefits include flexibility through short-term GRIs that eliminate long-term lock-in, visibility through comprehensive forecasting and reporting, automation that reduces manual work, and confidence through insurance-backed commitments that protect against waste. By combining advanced forecasting, flexible commitments, and integrated analytics, Archera helps organizations maximize savings, minimize risk, and align their cloud strategy with business goals—without any upfront cost."
