Case Study: InvestLab achieves 40% lower product launch costs and rapid global deployment with Amazon Web Services (AWS)

InvestLab - Customer Case Study

InvestLab, a financial-technology firm with offices in San Francisco and Hong Kong, builds trading, market-data, and social research products that let individual investors and small-to-mid-size brokers access global markets. The company needed near-instant, highly secure delivery of time-sensitive market data worldwide and the ability to provision capacity on-demand (often within five minutes) to handle market openings and unpredictable events.

InvestLab migrated core services to AWS—using EC2 across US East, US West, and Asia Pacific regions, Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon RDS, and AWS Direct Connect for private, low-latency data feeds—so it could scale rapidly and push services closer to customers. The move cut fixed product-launch costs by 40%, saved hundreds of development hours (accelerating releases by 8–12 weeks), and enabled deployment into the Asia Pacific region in a single day, improving performance and security for global customers.
