Case Study: Echelon Fitness achieves elastic scaling and lower costs with Amazon Web Services

Echelon Fitness Achieves Elastic Scaling to Meet 1,000% Annual Growth on AWS

Echelon, a connected fitness company offering live and on-demand workouts across multiple countries, saw explosive growth and needed to scale its streaming platform while meeting regional security requirements. Its video classes were crashing under demand, so Echelon turned to Amazon Web Services and AWS Premier Consulting Partner Onica, using services like AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Amazon CloudFront, and Amazon S3 Glacier to support expansion.

With Amazon Web Services and Onica, Echelon optimized infrastructure for elastic scaling, stronger security, and disaster recovery. The result was lower costs, improved performance for millions of users, support for 1,000% year-over-year growth, and savings of $25,000 per month; the platform now handles 10,000+ attendees per class and hosts over 2 million classes in a month.
