Optimizing Cloud and Server Costs for a Fantasy Sports Giant

Our team of technical consultants assessed the existing backend infrastructure and cloud service providers to identify areas of cost inefficiency while maintaining the application’s performance and reliability.

Cloud Infrastructure Audit: We conducted a thorough review of the client’s cloud infrastructure, examining usage patterns of virtual machines, storage, and networking resources.

Cost Breakdown Analysis: We analyzed the cost breakdown of cloud services to identify major expense areas.

Server Utilization Assessment: Our team assessed the performance and resource utilization of the existing servers, pinpointing over-provisioned or underutilized instances.

Rightsizing Resources: Based on usage patterns and performance metrics, we recommended right-sizing virtual machines and storage resources to match actual needs, eliminating over-provisioning and wastage.

Cost-effective Cloud Services: We identified more cost-effective alternatives for some cloud services without compromising performance or security.

Automated Scaling: We implemented automated scaling mechanisms to dynamically adjust resources based on user demand, ensuring the client was not paying for idle resources during low-traffic periods.

Serverless Architecture: Where feasible, we transitioned to a serverless architecture, reducing the need for maintaining and provisioning servers, significantly impacting cost reduction.
