Case Study: Spectrum cuts event processing costs by 60% with Facets.cloud

Spectrum cuts event processing costs by 60% with Facets.cloud

The customer, Spectrum, a growth platform for Shopify-based merchants, faced significant challenges due to its fragmented multi-cloud footprint running on both AWS and Azure. This setup led to prohibitively expensive event processing costs on Azure Functions, high cross-cloud data transfer fees, and inefficient infrastructure utilization. Spectrum engaged Facets.cloud to consolidate its operations and reduce complexity.

Facets.cloud migrated Spectrum's mission-critical Hermes event processing engine from Azure to Google Cloud in just two weeks, re-architecting it with managed event streaming and Google Kubernetes Engine. The vendor then consolidated the full backend from AWS to GCP in 90 days using a single declarative blueprint. This solution eliminated customer downtime and reduced event processing costs by 60%, while also enabling Spectrum to onboard new customers without any new infrastructure work.
