Infrastructure case study

Cloud Cost Optimization

Cut a production cloud bill from ~$867/month on GCP to $50–57/month on DigitalOcean.

93% lower cloud bill

The problem

A production platform was spending about $200 every week on Google Cloud — roughly $867 a month — for workloads that did not need hyperscaler pricing.

What we built

  • Audited every running service, database and load balancer against real traffic
  • Re-platformed the stack onto right-sized DigitalOcean infrastructure
  • Consolidated databases and ingress, removed idle and duplicated resources
  • Kept monitoring and deploy pipelines working through the cut-over

Outcome

Monthly infrastructure cost went from about $867 to $50–57 — a ~93% reduction, saving roughly $9,700 a year with the same product running.

Stack
