Methodology & Assumptions

Pricing data: AWS RDS On-Demand pricing for EU (London) eu-west-2 region, PostgreSQL engine, converted from USD at £1 = $1.27. Prices are approximate and may differ from your reserved or spot pricing. Always verify against your AWS Cost Explorer.

Instance savings: Based on typical CPU reduction of 40–70% after query optimisation. Low health = 20–30% right-sizing; Medium = 35–50%; High = 50–65%. Most workloads can move down 1–2 instance sizes within the same family after eliminating sequential scans, missing indexes, and N+1 query patterns.

Storage savings: VACUUM + bloat reclaim typically frees 10–30% of allocated storage across medium-to-high inefficiency workloads. Low inefficiency assumes minimal bloat (5%).

IOPS savings: Index optimisation and query rewriting reduce random I/O by 30–60% in typical workloads. Only applicable when provisioned IOPS storage (io1/io2) is selected.

PGFlare investment: Diagnostic session £497 (1 day). Remediation+ session £897 (2 days). Emergency response £350/hr. ROI calculated as (annual saving − session cost) ÷ session cost × 100.
