Case Study: Multinational Tech Company achieves cost optimization and sustained performance with Globant's Graviton migration

Multinational tech company reached cost optimization through Graviton adoption

Multinational Tech Company engaged Globant to reduce hosting costs and improve sustainability for web applications running on AWS Elastic Beanstalk on i386 (Intel x86) instances. Facing tight budgets and concerns about vendor lock‑in, the customer wanted to migrate to Graviton (ARM) instances without sacrificing performance or reliability.

Globant performed cost comparisons with the AWS Pricing Calculator, ran performance and compatibility tests, executed a pilot migration (NodeJS on Elastic Beanstalk), and implemented ongoing monitoring and optimization to validate the move to Graviton. As a result, Globant helped the customer optimize costs while maintaining performance, achieve up to 60% better energy efficiency and up to 40% improved price‑performance versus x86, and realize faster deployments and greater cost control through ephemeral testing environments.
