About Netway

AWS egress cost optimization that runs entirely inside your own account — no agents, no data sharing, no surprises.

🔍

What is Netway?

Netway analyzes your VPC Flow Logs to detect traffic patterns that generate unnecessary AWS data transfer charges and recommends fixes with estimated monthly savings.

🏢

Who builds it?

Basavytix, a Bengaluru-based software company focused on AWS cost optimization tooling. We've been building cloud infrastructure tools since 2024.

⚡

What does it detect?

S3 traffic via NAT Gateway, cross-AZ data transfers, EC2 instances calling AWS APIs without VPC endpoints, unnecessary internet egress, and more.

🚀

How fast is setup?

Register, run one CloudFormation command, and you're done. No agents, no IAM users to create manually, no S3 buckets to configure. First findings appear within 24 hours.

How it works

1

Deploy a CloudFormation stack

One command deploys the entire Netway stack into your AWS account — a Lambda function, an S3 bucket, an Athena workgroup, and EventBridge rules.

2

VPC Flow Logs are enabled automatically

Netway enables VPC Flow Logs on the VPCs you choose and stores them in the S3 bucket it creates and manages, including automatic lifecycle cleanup.

3

Lambda analyzes your traffic weekly

The Netway Lambda runs every 7 days (and whenever new EC2 instances or VPCs are created), querying flow logs via Athena, enriching traffic with resource metadata, and shipping aggregated summaries to Netway for pattern detection.

4

Findings posted to Slack, Teams, or email

Each finding includes the traffic pattern, the source resource, estimated monthly savings, and a recommended fix. View all findings on your dashboard.

🔒

Your data never leaves your AWS account

Netway reads VPC Flow Log metadata (IP addresses, ports, byte counts) — it never sees the contents of your network traffic. Raw flow log files stay in your AWS account's S3 bucket. Only aggregated traffic summaries (grouped by resource, AZ, and destination type — no raw IP logs) are sent to the Netway API for pattern detection.

What Netway does not do

Netway does not install any agents on your EC2 instances or containers. It does not require any IAM users or long-lived access keys — it uses an IAM role scoped to read-only EC2, S3, and Athena actions. It does not access your application data, databases, or secrets. It does not make any changes to your infrastructure — it only reads and reports.
