Challenge
Given trends in 2018, AWS budget was projected to increase 92%.
Action
- Worked with full-stack engineer on web team to tweak EC2 configs.
- Iteratively introducing Reserved Instances to add to cost savings.
- Worked with VR team to optimize the rendering pipeline.
As part of the VR work, we found that EC2 instances were running unneccessarily 24/7 so we adapted processes to more efficiently utilize those resources.
Results
- Reduced AWS MoM spend by 40%.
