Case Study: Attunely achieves 71% AWS cost reduction with Archera

How Attunely Optimized AWS Usage With High Commit Coverage

Attunely, a financial technology company, faced highly variable and increasing AWS EC2 costs as its customer volume grew. The challenge was to optimize these expenses with high commitment coverage without making long-term commitments to an unoptimized architecture or burdening their engineering team. The company's AWS account team suggested they connect with vendor Archera to explore its flexible GRI (Guaranteed Reserved Instance) product.

Archera provided its GRIs, a short-term and flexible alternative commitment that could be sold back after 30 days. This solution allowed Attunely to apply commitments to its variable workloads with no engineering effort, saving $182K in AWS costs in 2022. Furthermore, by selling back unused commitments, they avoided $20K per month in potential waste. Archera's solution gave Attunely the control to handle usage drawdowns while maintaining an average commitment utilization rate of over 95%, achieving significant savings without a long-term contract.
