The SaaS company in this case study had been scaling to accommodate business growth but soon found itself vastly over-provisioning Kubernetes resources and facing 40% annual growth in cloud spend, which was cutting into its margins. The firm adopted Kubernetes horizontal pod autoscaling (HPA), but found it challenging to scale workloads that were prone to bursts. With literally thousands of tuning combinations spanning numerous workloads, its optimization process required tremendous effort and cost, but still resulted in lukewarm results.
The business moved forward with a StormForge POC in an attempt to improve the efficiency of their horizontal pod autoscaling and also to introduce pod right-sizing (i.e. vertical pod autoscaling). The goal was to reduce over-provisioning costs and tuning efforts without sacrificing reliability or application performance. For its POC the firm deployed StormForge Optimize Live on a single app and realized an immediate cost savings of approximately 60%. It is now planning to use StormForge to scale efficiently across all production and non-production Kubernetes apps.
