Case Study: OpenObserve cuts pre-production infrastructure spend by 42% with DevZero

OpenObserve cuts pre-production infrastructure spend by 42% with DevZero

OpenObserve, an observability startup, faced significant challenges managing its multi-cloud Kubernetes infrastructure across AWS and Azure. With average cluster utilization at just 24% and manual processes for cost optimization, the engineering team was burdened by overprovisioned resources and a lack of cost visibility, which diverted time from product development. The company struggled with unpredictable environment costs and the operational overhead of managing seven fragmented pre-production clusters.

DevZero implemented an automated Kubernetes optimization solution that provided full cost visibility and managed resource allocation across all clusters. The results were achieved within two weeks and included a 42% reduction in pre-production infrastructure spend, an increase in average cluster utilization from 24% to 76%, and the consolidation of seven environments into one, which significantly reduced operational overhead. DevZero's platform returned valuable engineering time to product work and provided OpenObserve with a unified view of their multi-cloud infrastructure.
