Actionable Storage Insights

👯

Duplicate Detection

Identify identical files across prefixes and buckets. Surface redundant data that is silently inflating your monthly bill.

🔥

Prefix Hotspots

Instantly find which folders are growing fastest. Pinpoint 'hot' storage areas that need Lifecycle or Intelligent Tiering policies.

👻

Ghost Versions & Incomplete Uploads

Find and remove non-current object versions, delete markers, and incomplete multipart uploads that silently add up to significant hidden storage overhead.

🛡️

Zero Egress Security

Analyze your storage in-place. No data ever leaves your account, ensuring 100% compliance and zero data transfer costs.

🤖

MCP Server

Expose optimization reports directly to AI assistants. Connect tools like Claude Desktop or Amazon Q to audit S3 storage costs using natural language.

☁️

Native to AWS

Deploys directly as a Lambda function. Manage everything via the AWS Console and analyze in CloudWatch with zero infrastructure to maintain.

On the Horizon

S3 Performance & Security Auditing

We are actively building stateless, in-account analysis engines for S3 Server Access Logs to provide real-time performance troubleshooting and active threat detection.

Latency Diagnostics

Identify slow S3 operations and surface p95/p99 turnaround latency hotspots mapped directly to prefixes.

🕵️

Shadow Access Audit

Detect requests coming from external AWS accounts, public IPs, or unexpected IAM principals.

🚨

Bulk Egress & Ransomware Alerts

Get notified of sudden exfiltration volume spikes or mass delete operations per client IP in near-real-time.

🔍

Sensitive Data Scanner

Identify unencrypted PII, API tokens, and secret credential patterns across bucket prefixes with zero data egress.

📋

Compliance Drift

Continuously audit storage postures against organizational retention mandates, Object Lock immutability, and encryption policies.
