The Challenge

A media company was overspending on their AWS infrastructure due to poor architecture decisions made during rapid scaling. They were running oversized instances 24/7, had no auto-scaling, and their storage strategy was inefficient.

Our Solution

We conducted a comprehensive infrastructure audit and implemented right-sizing for all instances, set up auto-scaling groups, migrated to reserved instances for baseline capacity, implemented S3 lifecycle policies, and set up CloudFront for content delivery.

The Results

Monthly cloud costs dropped from $12,500 to $4,750 while actually improving performance. Uptime improved to 99.99% and response times dropped by 87%.

We thought we needed to spend more to improve performance. Acefina showed us we were just spending poorly. The savings pay for their services many times over.
