Sahay

sahay - support, help that carries weight

Connect architecture decisions to what they actually cost to run.

Sahay is the spend-less half of the engineering portfolio. Where Nirmiti helps a team build a system quickly and consistently, Sahay works on what that system costs to run: connecting code architecture to cloud infrastructure cost, surfacing third-party SaaS and API dependency spend, quantifying the maintenance cost of legacy monoliths, and finding duplicated implementations worth consolidating. It makes total cost of ownership a number an engineering team can act on.

Workflow

Problem

Cloud, SaaS, and maintenance spend is reported by vendor and account, never by the architectural decision that caused it, so cost conversations never reach the code.

Outcome

Total cost of ownership attributed back to architecture, dependencies, and technical debt, where it can actually be changed.

  1. 01

    Connect the spend

    Cloud, SaaS, and tooling cost is pulled in alongside the repositories and services that generate it.

  2. 02

    Attribute it

    Spend is mapped to services, dependencies, and architectural decisions rather than to billing accounts.

  3. 03

    Find the waste

    Duplication, unused dependencies, and disproportionate maintenance cost are surfaced with evidence.

  4. 04

    Model the change

    Modernization and consolidation options are projected against the cost they would remove.

Modules

  • Architecture-to-Cost Mapping

    Cloud infrastructure spend traced back to the services and decisions that drive it.

  • Dependency Spend

    Third-party SaaS and API dependency cost surfaced against actual usage.

  • Technical Debt Economics

    Legacy monolith maintenance cost quantified so modernization is argued on numbers.

  • Duplication Detection

    Repeated implementations found and consolidated into shared, maintained utilities.

Pending evidence attachment

This entry represents an enterprise architectural reference pattern. Customer benchmarks, run replays, and metric verifications are established during technical discovery.

Limitations

  • Headline metrics are representative until a customer result is attached.
