Case Study: Boxed achieves better Kubernetes security and lower cloud spend with Fairwinds Insights

Boxed Reduces Security Risks and Costs with Fairwinds Insights

Boxed, a large-scale ecommerce business, struggled with a lack of visibility into its Kubernetes applications' security and efficiency. The DevOps team was under pressure to reduce cloud spend but found it difficult to understand workload costs and operalizationalize security tools. To address these challenges, they turned to Fairwinds and its product, Fairwinds Insights.

By implementing Fairwinds Insights, Boxed gained crucial visibility into its Kubernetes clusters and deployment configurations. The solution from Fairwinds provided intelligent recommendations for optimizing compute profiles, which helped Boxed reduce cloud spend. It also automated security scanning and vulnerability management, saving the team multiple days of manual work and enabling them to proactively limit security exposure. This improved both their security posture and sprint planning.
