Case Study: Devada achieves $4K in three-month cloud savings and improved compliance with CloudCheckr

How Devada uses CloudCheckr to secure, mature, and automate

Devada, the company behind DZone.com and the AnswerHub SaaS platform, faced challenges scaling its cloud operations — lacking operational maturity, visibility, and compliance tracking while burning up to 90% of DevOps time on audit preparation. DevOps Manager Rick Garee selected CloudCheckr (now part of Spot by NetApp) to provide cloud management, compliance monitoring, and automation to address these problems.

CloudCheckr implemented continuous monitoring, compliance reporting, and automated management of reserved and underutilized AWS resources, centralizing multi-account visibility and reducing manual audit work. As a result, Devada reduced onboarding costs, streamlined operations, and realized $4K in savings in the first three months using CloudCheckr while accelerating its path toward SOC2 and other compliance goals.
