Case Study: La Fourche cuts cloud costs by 69.9% with CAST AI

How the French e-commerce startup La Fourche reduced its cloud bill by 69.9%

La Fourche, a French e-commerce startup, needed a solution to handle sudden spikes in website traffic while controlling its rapidly growing cloud costs on Amazon EKS. Their CTO sought a platform that could scale resources rapidly to prevent outages during events like media coverage but found that their existing setup led to significant overprovisioning and an unexpectedly high AWS bill.

By implementing CAST AI, La Fourche utilized the platform's recommendations to switch to more cost-effective virtual machine instances. This simple change, guided by a free savings report from CAST AI, resulted in an immediate 69.9% reduction in its cloud compute costs, slashing its monthly bill from over $4,300 to approximately $1,310. The company also plans to use CAST AI's advanced autoscaling features to ensure efficient resource usage during future traffic surges.
