Archera
Archera is a Bellevue, Washington FinOps company that turns long-term cloud commitments into short, insured ones. Its free multi-cloud platform gives teams cost visibility, forecasting, and purchasing recommendations across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, then layers on its signature Insured Commitments - reserved instances and savings plans wrapped with a money-back guarantee and terms as short as 30 days. The result is commitment-level discounts of roughly 30-40% without the multi-year lock-in. Founded in 2019 by brothers Aran and Nikhil Khanna, Archera manages over $3.4B in annual cloud spend for more than 1,000 customers.
