Background: Apty, a leading SaaS company in digital adoption, was on an upward trajectory but their cloud expenses on AWS were scaling just as quickly. Although their platform was already cloud-native, inefficiencies in resource utilization were becoming increasingly apparent, necessitating a more refined approach to their AWS cloud management.
Challenges Faced
- Uncontrolled Cloud Spend: Apty’s growth, although impressive, led to a proportional surge in cloud costs, significantly impacting their budgeting plans.
- Architectural Inefficiencies: The complexity of Apty’s AWS infrastructure obscured visibility, making cost-saving opportunities difficult to pinpoint.
- Innovation Slowdown: The development team at Apty was encumbered by the existing cloud setup, which delayed product innovation and extended their deployment cycles.
The Intel Techworks Intervention Intel Techworks introduced Apty to its tailored DiscoverCloud services, wielding Trekora for in-depth cost analysis and Traverse for architectural insight, which together streamlined Apty’s AWS usage.
- Trekora’s Cost Optimization: Through meticulous tracking and analysis, Intel Techworks identified cost-saving opportunities that reduced unnecessary spend without affecting Apty’s operational performance.
- Traverse Architectural Refinement: Intel Techworks provided a comprehensive review of Apty’s cloud architecture, uncovering and addressing critical inefficiencies to ensure better scalability and performance.
- Managed FinOps Strategy: With Intel Techworks’ expertise, Apty adopted a proactive FinOps approach, ensuring their cloud spending was continuously aligned with their financial objectives for sustained optimization.
- Unleashing Innovation: Post-optimization, Apty’s team could redirect their focus towards innovation, leveraging AWS’s cutting-edge technologies for faster feature deployment and improved market responsiveness.
