Hey everyone,

​I wanted to share a small but huge personal milestone: after weeks of building, debugging, and testing, I just logged my first sale on Gumroad!

​As someone building in the cloud space, nothing beats the feeling of seeing a real user find value in something you created from scratch.

​Why I built it

​Managing cloud infrastructure often leads to "cloud drift" and silent budget leaks. It's surprisingly easy to overlook:

​Zombie VMs & idle EC2 instances running 24/7 without active workloads.

​Unattached volumes & orphaned snapshots accumulating hidden storage charges.

​Overprovisioned resources that could easily be downscaled without impacting performance.

​Most enterprise FinOps suites are bloated, expensive, and require complex enterprise agreements just to see where your money is bleeding.

​I wanted something lean and direct: an AI-assisted CloudOps script/tool that plugs straight into AWS and Azure, scans your environment read-only, and gives you an actionable report of exactly what’s idle and how much you can save by pruning it.

​What’s next

​Getting that first customer notification made all the late nights worth it. My next focus is refining the detection models and adding support for automated scheduled cleanup reports.

​If your team is trying to trim cloud waste this quarter, or if you're curious about how the scanner identifies idle resource patterns, feel free to drop a comment below or send me a DM—happy to share insights, run a quick check, or swap notes with fellow builders!

Just made my first sale on Gumroad! Built a lightweight AI tool to hunt down zombie cloud resources on AWS & Azure 🚀
