Case Study: Xignite achieves scalable, cost-efficient real-time market data delivery with Amazon Web Services

Xignite - Customer Case Study

Xignite is a financial-services startup that delivers on-demand market data to enterprise applications and websites for more than 400 corporate clients. When Forbes.com asked Xignite to power its real-time stock quotes, the company needed a highly scalable, cost-efficient infrastructure that could dynamically handle peak traffic without wasting compute or network resources.

Xignite migrated to AWS, using EC2 and S3 plus autoscaling, redundant load balancers, and caching to expand capacity quickly and only when needed. The move cut time-to-market by two months, eliminated the need for a full-time operations hire, and produced overall cost savings—including hardware, bandwidth, and personnel—estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, while avoiding upfront infrastructure costs and underutilized capacity.
