Case Study: Spinny cuts CDN spend by 62% with Gumlet

By leaving media optimization to the pros, Spinny revs up its revenue

Spinny, a multi-VC backed automotive sales platform, faced significant challenges with its media hosting. These issues included slow media delivery that impacted car listings, manual image processing workflows, heavy developer overhead, and escalating costs from their previous solution, AWS Cloudfront. They turned to the vendor Gumlet for a more reliable media optimization and delivery service.

Gumlet implemented a solution featuring a custom pre-warmed media cache and AI-powered image tools. This provided significant optimization, resulting in a 62% reduction in CDN spend, 48% better optimization than AWS, and 74% better optimization than original file sizes. The implementation also maintained 99.95% uptime with zero downtime during migration, allowing Spinny to scale its operations effectively.
