The Challenge

As TechFlow's user base exploded from 50K to over 100K users, their AWS infrastructure costs grew even faster. The engineering team was manually managing scaling, leading to over-provisioned resources and skyrocketing bills.

  • Over-provisioned EKS clusters burning budget
  • Manual scaling couldn't keep up with demand
  • No visibility into cost drivers
  • Engineering team spending 20+ hours/week on infrastructure

Monthly Cost Trend
