Case Study: KOHO achieves zero-touch operations and 30% lower costs with Amazon Web Services

KOHO Uses AWS to Bring Canadians Lower Personal Finance Costs and Access to Same-Day Pay

KOHO, a financial technology company, needed to simplify Kubernetes cluster management, reduce infrastructure costs, and support growth without expanding its engineering team. To address this challenge, KOHO worked with Amazon Web Services and migrated its container workloads to Amazon EKS Auto Mode, along with Amazon EC2 Spot Instances.

Amazon Web Services helped KOHO modernize its infrastructure with automated provisioning, scaling, patching, and built-in security controls. The result was a 30% reduction in infrastructure costs, about 5x faster service startup, scaling times cut from 90 seconds to 5 seconds for some services, and deployment times improved by 20%—all while reducing engineering burden and enabling zero-touch operations.
