Case Study: a UK-based SaaS provider cuts log storage costs by 65% with Adaptavist and Amazon OpenSearch

UK-based SaaS Provider cuts storage costs by 65% with Adaptavist

The UK-based SaaS provider, a leading software company, faced the challenge of scaling its log analytics platform to handle over 3TB of daily data ingestion. They needed to balance rapid search performance on recent logs with cost-effective long-term storage for compliance, all while supporting aggressive monthly growth. Adaptavist was engaged to design a solution using Amazon OpenSearch Service.

Adaptavist implemented a multi-AZ Amazon OpenSearch Service architecture featuring Index State Management (ISM) policies and UltraWarm nodes. This solution automated data transitions from a high-performance hot tier to a cost-optimized warm tier, resulting in a 65% reduction in long-term storage costs. The platform achieved zero query timeouts despite 3TB daily ingestion and provided a 36-day retention period to meet compliance needs.
