Challenge
Because of CleverTap’s rapidly changing compute workload pattern, it became increasingly complicated to push beyond their existing Effective Savings Rate (ESR) of 40.2% using a manual process. The infrastructure team understood that being too aggressive in their coverage could result in unutilized commitments if usage declined, while being too conservative would lead to missed cost savings. They were constantly balancing on a tightrope between maximizing coverage and ensuring that commitments were not underutilized.
Solution
The infrastructure team reduced their AWS compute costs within months using ProsperOps. The ProsperOps platform intelligently manages CleverTap’s portfolio of Savings Plans and Convertible Reserved Instances by adjusting commitments to match their dynamic compute usage patterns and continuously monitors usage changes in real-time, rather than relying on forecasted usage. This real-time adjustment allowed CleverTap to better keep pace with engineering changes, even as they transitioned to Graviton and changed instance types. ProsperOps takes thousands of actions each month to maintain optimal commitments, which would not have been humanly possible.
