Case Study: Silicon Valley Company achieves optimized AWS Aurora PostgreSQL performance and cost savings with DatAvail

Silicon Valley Company Optimizes AWS Environment

Silicon Valley Company, a $10B+ firm handling tens of millions of payment customers annually, was struggling to optimize its payment processing environment after migrating from MongoDB to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL (running on r4.16xlarge instances). The client faced CPU bottlenecks, poor visibility into database health, insufficient automation, data resiliency issues, and unmet compliance requirements, and engaged DatAvail for expert PostgreSQL and AWS support.

DatAvail diagnosed migration gaps and implemented targeted fixes: removing dead and vulnerable code, right‑sizing and balancing CPU usage, automating reporting workflows, and upgrading security certifications. The engagement delivered measurable outcomes—improved system performance and reliability, automated insights for faster decision‑making, strengthened compliance posture, and lower operating costs through resource optimization—and established processes and 24x7 monitoring DatAvail can replicate across the client’s environments.
