“We were focused on rapid growth and feature development, but our AWS bills were growing even faster than our customer base. Stackgenie didn’t just help us stop the bleeding — they transformed our entire approach to cloud infrastructure.”
About Client
A venture-backed fintech startup delivering real-time lending services at scale, built on a robust AWS-native architecture.
With rapid market adoption, the company was processing thousands of transactions per minute, powered by:
• Real-time credit scoring models
• Microservices deployed across Kubernetes
• Compliance-heavy data pipelines
• Secure customer and partner-facing APIs
But as innovation surged, so did their AWS bill ballooning from
$15,000 to $48,000 per month in just 18 months.
The Challenge: Rapid Growth, Runaway Costs
A fintech platform adopted Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) for microservices orchestration. While it provided agility, the lack of cost controls, scaling strategies, and observability led to:
• Unpredictable scaling behavior
• Overprovisioned nodes and underutilized workloads
• Manual deployment practices
• Poor visibility into cost attribution
The leadership team needed both an immediate cost fix and a long-term EKS governance model—without disrupting release cycles or compromising regulatory compliance.
