● Scale-to-zero for the AWS you already run

Stop paying for idle.
Wake on demand in seconds.

default-off scales your existing ECS & Aurora environments to zero when nobody's using them, and brings them back the instant a request arrives — no migration, no code changes.

No credit card · Read-only metrics access · You keep full control
Why default-off

Built for the cloud you already have

Point us at an environment, pick a sleep policy, and we handle the rest — safely, in your account.

🌙

Scale to zero, or scale down

One dial: deep sleep for maximum savings, light sleep for a warm floor, or always-on. Per environment, per resource.

Wake on demand

Aurora Serverless v2 auto-pause resumes in seconds, not minutes. A request hits the edge and your stack comes back while the page loads.

🧩

Zero migration

We orchestrate the resources you already run via a scoped cross-account role. No rewrites, no new platform to learn.

🛡️

Never touches your data

The role we assume is control + metrics only — no S3, no database contents, no secrets. Bound to your account with an ExternalId.

♻️

Self-healing orchestration

Idempotent state machines, a dead-letter queue, and a stranded-transition sweep mean an environment won't silently get stuck.

📊

Savings you can see

A live dashboard shows what each environment reclaimed and how fast it wakes — the trade-off, in plain numbers.

How it works

Three steps to a leaner bill

From sign-up to savings in minutes.

01

Connect your account

Deploy a tiny CloudFormation role (control + metrics only) and paste the ARN. We verify ownership with an ExternalId challenge.

02

Pick a sleep policy

Choose deep sleep, light sleep, or always-on — globally or per resource. See the estimated wake time before you save.

03

We scale it to zero

When traffic stops, we wind it down. When a request arrives at your link, we wake it on demand — automatically.

What teams will say

Example stories that show how default-off fits a team. We'll replace these with real, attributed quotes as we onboard customers.

★★★★★

"Our preview and staging environments used to run 24/7. Putting them to sleep at night and on weekends cut our non-prod bill sharply — and nobody noticed."

★★★★★

"The part that sold us: zero migration. Point it at existing ECS and Aurora and it just works. Wakes are fast enough that demos don't stall."

Site reliability engineerexample scenario
★★★★★

"It never touches our data — control-plane and metrics only. That makes the security review straightforward, which is rare for anything reaching into our account."
