Case Study: Crowdfire reduces deployment time and infrastructure costs with Kubernetes

How to Keep Iterating a Fast-Growing App With a Cloud-Native Approach

Crowdfire, a social media software company based in Mumbai, India, needed a more cloud-native way to support fast growth, frequent releases, and rising operational demands. Using Kubernetes, the team aimed to speed up development and delivery while keeping infrastructure management overhead and costs under control.

Kubernetes helped Crowdfire move to a production-oriented, cloud-native setup built with Terraform and Ansible. The company cut deployment time from 15 minutes to under a minute, benefited from Kubernetes’s self-healing for node or pod failures, reduced Elastic Load Balancer costs by 90%, and lowered EC2 operating expenses by up to 50%.
