Case Study: Wix achieves over 50% lower Amazon DynamoDB costs with Amazon Web Services Amazon CloudWatch

Optimizing Costs and Promoting Innovation Using Amazon CloudWatch with Wix

Wix used Amazon Web Services’ Amazon CloudWatch to gain deeper visibility into application performance, system efficiency, and resource usage as it worked to identify inefficiencies and reduce costs, especially in Amazon DynamoDB. The company needed better insights to rightsize resources, match provisioning to actual demand, and improve cost efficiency across its growing technology stack.

Amazon Web Services implemented Amazon CloudWatch across Wix’s environment, enabling teams to analyze usage patterns, track metrics and logs, and act on alerts and dashboards for optimization. By tuning DynamoDB provisioned IOPS to align with real usage, Wix cut DynamoDB costs by more than 50%, improved operational visibility, and created a repeatable process for ongoing cost reduction and better resource allocation.
