Case Study: Bestow achieves operational excellence and faster insurance processing with Astronomer, Inc.'s Astro

Transforming Life Insurance with Bestow's Journey to Operational Excellence

Bestow, an innovative life insurance company, faced operational hurdles managing data workflows for its automated underwriting process, especially after encountering complexity, sizing issues, and high costs with Google Cloud Composer. It needed a more efficient way to orchestrate Apache Airflow-based workflows that support its electronic application experience and faster policy decisions.

Astronomer, Inc. implemented Astro to help Bestow migrate critical workflows with zero downtime and stronger automation, monitoring, and support. The result was a major boost in team efficiency and developer productivity, with Bestow reporting that its data team is about half the size it used to be while delivering roughly double the functionality and value, enabling it to scale to more clients without expanding headcount.
