Case Study: How GTCS Helped SaaS Company X Cut Cloud Costs by 35% and Deploy 50% Faster

Client Profile

Company: SaaS Company X (Mid-sized B2B SaaS provider)
Industry: Cloud-based Enterprise Solutions
Cloud Provider: AWS (Amazon Web Services)
Infrastructure Complexity: Multi-region, Kubernetes-based microservices architecture
Annual Cloud Spend (Before GTCS): ~$1.2 million

The Challenge: Costly Cloud Operations & Slow Deployments

SaaS Company X faced two critical problems:

❌ Skyrocketing Cloud Costs – The company’s AWS bill was ballooning every month, with underutilized resources, over-provisioned infrastructure, and inefficient scaling policies.

❌ Deployment Bottlenecks – Their CI/CD pipeline was slow and unreliable, causing frequent deployment failures and forcing developers to spend hours troubleshooting rather than shipping features.

With customers expecting high availability and fast releases, these inefficiencies threatened business growth and customer satisfaction.

The Solution: Cost Optimization + DevOps Transformation

GTCS partnered with SaaS Company X to revamp their cloud infrastructure and DevOps processes.

Cloud Cost Optimization (FinOps)

Goal: Reduce AWS costs without impacting performance

Rightsizing Compute & Storage – Analyzed underutilized instances and storage, replacing oversized EC2 and RDS instances with cost-effective alternatives.
Auto-Scaling & Spot Instances – Implemented automated scaling policies and leveraged AWS Spot Instances, reducing costs for non-critical workloads by 60%.
FinOps Monitoring & Cost Visibility – Integrated AWS Cost Explorer & GTCS FinOps dashboards, enabling real-time cost tracking and waste identification.
Storage Optimization – Migrated infrequently accessed S3 objects to Intelligent-Tiering and Glacier, slashing storage costs by 45%.

Results:
✔️ AWS costs reduced by 35% within three months
✔️Eliminated $420,000 in unnecessary cloud spend annually

DevOps & CI/CD Acceleration

Goal: Cut deployment time and eliminate release failures

CI/CD Pipeline Overhaul – Rebuilt pipelines with GitHub Actions & ArgoCD, reducing deployment complexity.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) – Implemented Terraform & Helm to automate infrastructure provisioning and ensure consistency.
Zero-Downtime Deployments – Introduced blue-green & canary deployment strategies, eliminating outages during updates.
Automated Testing & Rollbacks – Integrated automated testing in CI/CD with Chaos Engineering principles, improving reliability.

Results::
✔️ Deployments became 50% faster – reduced from 90 minutes to 45 minutes
✔️ Deployment success rate improved from 82% to 99.8%
✔️ Developers regained 20% of productive time, focusing on new features instead of firefighting

The Business Impact

✔️ $420,000 annual cloud savings → Reallocated budget for product innovation
✔️ 50% faster releases → Accelerated time-to-market for new features
✔️ 99.8% deployment success rate → Improved platform reliability and customer satisfaction
