The best way is to start implementing AWS cost optimization practices early on so that you can scale it as your business grows.

Measure the overall efficiency of the workloads Measure the business output and the associated cost of delivery for every workload and use the data to understand the gains that you can obtain by increasing functionality and output or by decreasing costs.
Do not spend money on undifferentiated heavy lifting AWS does the heavy lifting for data center operations like racking, stacking, and powering servers, and also does operational tasks with managed services such as managing operating systems and applications.
Analyze and attribute expenditure To increase transparency, accurately identify the cost and usage of workloads and attribute IT costs to revenue streams and individual workload owners. You can calculate the return on investment (ROI) and help workload owners optimise their resources and cut costs.
