Case Study: Footy.com cuts AWS costs and builds a scalable cloud foundation with Leighton

Footy.com cuts AWS spend by up to 50% with Leighton

Footy.com, a leading sports retail aggregator, faced unpredictable and escalating AWS costs due to a complex and inefficient cloud environment. This impacted their margins and limited their confidence in scaling the platform. They partnered with Leighton for a comprehensive AWS cost optimisation and architecture review to regain control of their cloud spend.

Leighton's analysis identified excessive NAT Gateway charges caused by S3 traffic being routed externally. Their solution was to implement an S3 VPC Gateway Endpoint, which reduced NAT data processing by over 85% and cut total monthly AWS spend by 30-50%. This immediate cost stabilisation was part of a broader effort by Leighton that provided Footy.com with a scalable cloud foundation and a strategic roadmap for future growth.
