Case Study: Waterco achieves better performance and lower hosting costs with DNX Solutions

Moving from Heroku to AWS without adding infrastructure operations

Waterco, a global manufacturer of pool and water filtration systems, faced a challenge with its Poolware software. After moving the application to Heroku to avoid infrastructure management, they found it limited their ability to optimize resources and control costs without increasing operational overhead. They engaged DNX Solutions to help transition to a more efficient and elastic cloud architecture.

DNX Solutions implemented a modernized AWS environment using their DNX.One platform. They migrated Poolware to Docker containers running on a cost-effective ECS cluster with EC2 spot instances. This shift resulted in massive cost savings of over 80% on compute, cut their server count in half, reduced hosting costs by 25%, and improved performance while eliminating production incidents.
