Case Study: ZestMoney achieves 60-70% EC2 cost reduction and greater cloud efficiency with Flexera Spot Ocean

ZestMoney boosts cloud savings and efficiency during DevOps modernization

ZestMoney, India’s largest AI-driven buy-now-pay-later lending platform, needed better visibility into rising AWS and Kubernetes cloud costs as DevOps modernization and COVID-era budget scrutiny increased pressure on the team. Manual processes made it difficult to understand spend and optimize resources efficiently, so ZestMoney turned to Flexera’s Spot Ocean container optimization solution.

Flexera implemented Spot Ocean to provide cloud visibility, actionable insights, and automation across ECS and EKS workloads. The result was 60–70% lower EC2 spend, with all production workloads running on spot instances, around 80% cluster utilization, and less manual infrastructure management thanks to automated scaling and container-level cost allocation.
