The Challenge
The client was spending over $2.2M annually on power, cooling, hardware leasing, and maintenance contracts for half-utilized bare-metal servers, with a hard lease expiry deadline looming.
The Architectural Solution
Modern Graviton Architecture
Rather than lift-and-shift onto expensive x86 VMs, containerized applications onto AWS Graviton3 processors, delivering 25% better price-performance out of the box.
Continuous FinOps Culture
Built executive dashboards tracking cost per insurance quote calculated, enabling finance and engineering to review unit economics weekly.
