Case Study: Vidsy achieves 60% EC2 cost savings and a 10-day migration with Amazon Web Services (Amazon ECS)

Vidsy Migrates to Amazon ECS in 10 days

Vidsy, a London-based media company that connects brands with a 3,000-strong community of young creatives to produce mobile-first video campaigns, faced operational problems running its containerized apps on Docker Cloud. Frequent software bugs, time-consuming fixes, and Docker Cloud’s cluster-management end-of-life forced the team to find a more reliable solution.

Vidsy migrated its containers to Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) in just 10 days, completing the move internally without issues. The change cut Amazon EC2 costs by 60%, improved orchestration reliability, and freed engineering time to focus on new services and business innovation.
