Case Study: Nav cuts infrastructure costs by 50% with Kubernetes

How A Startup Reduced Its Infrastructure Costs by 50% With Kubernetes

Nav, a financial services company for businesses based in Salt Lake City and San Mateo, needed a better way to scale its infrastructure as traffic and product demands grew. Its early bare-metal environment became expensive and difficult to manage, and the team wanted to reduce the time spent manually provisioning and maintaining systems.

Nav turned to Kubernetes to orchestrate containers and simplify deployments across a growing set of services and workloads. With Kubernetes, the company cut infrastructure costs by 50%, handled traffic spikes far more easily, and improved deployment speed, giving engineers more time to focus on product development rather than infrastructure maintenance.
