Optimize S3 storage and API request costs

S3 costs aren’t just about storage - they’re about how data is managed, accessed, and retained. Without visibility into waste, retrieval inefficiencies, and lifecycle mismanagement, costs increase. OneLens uncovers hidden inefficiencies and provides data-driven insights to optimize S3 usage.

Why are S3 costs hard to control?

S3 pricing isn’t just about storing data, you pay for:

Frequent writes and retrievals that aren’t necessary.
Data that’s rarely accessed but still stored in expensive tiers.
Unnecessary versioning and replication driving up costs.
Old, unused objects that should be expired or archived.

Traditional cost reports don’t tell you where waste exists, OneLens does.

FEATURES

See what’s driving your S3 costs and optimize it

Cost visibility & breakdown

Analyze historical S3 cost trends across accounts, regions, and storage classes to make informed decisions on cost control and optimization.

Centralized S3 Visibility
Track total S3 spend across all accounts and buckets to centralize cost visibility.
Spend Pattern Insights
Identify cost trends and anomalies over time to catch inefficiencies early.
Granular Cost Analysis
Filter costs by account, region, or cost center to analyze spending at a granular level.

Bucket-level insights & cost drivers

Understand which S3 buckets and workloads are responsible for rising storage costs and take action where it matters.

Cost Spike Detection
Pinpoint costliest and fastest-growing buckets before they impact your budget.
Storage Cost Breakdown
Break down costs by storage class, retrieval requests, and data transfer to detect inefficiencies.
Bucket Usage Analysis
Identify rarely accessed, over-retrieved, or underutilized data that is increasing your costs.

Optimization opportunities

Detect and fix inefficiencies in your S3 storage policies to eliminate unnecessary spending.

Smart Lifecycle Insights
Find misconfigured lifecycle policies that are driving up costs.
Inefficient Storage Finder
Detect excessive versioning, replication, and multipart uploads that contribute to waste.
Storage Cleanup Insights
Get actionable recommendations to transition, archive, or delete unnecessary data.

Cost Visibility That Drives Action

OneLens has greatly improved our visibility into Business to Service mapping, allowing us to track costs more accurately through dedicated cost centers. With timely insights into cost anomalies, we've been able to avoid unnecessary expenses and make smarter decisions. We've also seen significant optimizations in our compute, S3, and network costs. It’s been a game-changer for our cost management strategy.
