Case Study: Perion achieves 52% EKS cost reduction with Granulate

How Perion Achieved 52% Cost Reduction In EKS Service Costs

Perion, an online advertising company known for its high-performance ad serving services, migrated to Kubernetes on AWS EKS to improve agility and scalability. However, the move increased compute costs and put pressure on the team to maintain strict performance SLAs while improving operational efficiency.

To address this, Perion used Granulate’s real-time continuous optimization solution, deployed via a DaemonSet on its EKS cluster, with no code changes or R&D effort required. After a short learning period, Granulate helped reduce CPU utilization by 60%, lower average response time by 10%, and cut EKS compute costs by 52% through automatic cluster scale-out reduction.
