Case Study: GolfNow cuts infrastructure costs and boosts resilience with Kubernetes

Saving Time and Money with Cloud Native Infrastructure

GolfNow, a golf industry technology and services provider based in Orlando, Florida, needed to scale its infrastructure as the company grew. Its existing approach relied on vertical scaling, which was becoming inefficient and expensive, and the team was spending too much on infrastructure while struggling to keep systems stable.

Kubernetes helped GolfNow modernize its environment by moving applications into a Kubernetes-based containerized infrastructure. The result was immediate: GolfNow cut monthly operating costs by a large percentage, reportedly slashing an operating expense by half, while improving efficiency, resilience, and uptime. Sherif Mohamed said application moves took under 30 seconds, and the team was able to horizontally scale during peak demand without paying extra for more capacity.
