Case Study: Major Media Event Service Provider achieves up to 38% monthly cloud cost savings and improved performance with Globant

How a Leading Media Customer Migrated its Infrastructure to ARM

Major Media Event Service Provider faced a tight deadline to improve performance and cut costs ahead of a high-traffic media event. The customer needed to migrate more than 23 services across seven Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) clusters in three separate account environments to an energy-efficient ARM architecture. Globant was engaged to lead the migration using Graviton-based EC2 instances and Docker multi-architecture builds to ensure compatibility and speed.

Globant provisioned new ECS clusters powered by Graviton processors, implemented Docker multi-architecture builds, and ran traffic-sharing tests while gradually phasing out Intel-based clusters. The migration delivered measurable impact: roughly 12% cost reduction for the migrated services and up to 38% lower cloud expenses month-over-month, along with a seamless transition that improved performance and operational efficiency.
