Case Study: GetYourGuide reduces cloud costs and prevents revenue loss with Anodot Autonomous Business Monitoring

As Pandemic Up-Ends Travel Industry, Booking Website Uses Autonomous Business Monitoring to Optimize Spending

GetYourGuide is a global booking platform offering 40,000+ tours and activities to travelers from 170+ countries. When the pandemic abruptly halted travel in early 2020, the company faced pressure to control cloud costs, track changing product usage and revenue, and monitor marketing and ad spend—challenges made worse by reliance on manual dashboard inspections that missed subtle anomalies and allowed costly issues to linger.

GetYourGuide deployed Anodot’s Autonomous Business Monitoring to provide real-time anomaly detection and alerts across cloud infrastructure, product revenue flows and marketing campaigns. The system quickly flagged issues such as a 154% S3 spike and doubled ListRequest activity, commission-entry errors and an “add to cart” bug that would have cost ~€24k, and spikes in ad costs and affiliate abuse—enabling faster fixes, proactive cost savings and reduced revenue leakage during a critical re-architecture and recovery period.
