Case Study: Viewpost cuts AWS costs in half with Metricly

Viewpost Gets Insights To Cut AWS Cost in Half

Viewpost, a fintech SaaS company serving more than 300,000 customers, needed better visibility into AWS infrastructure costs and resource usage as it moved fully to the cloud. The team wanted to identify gaps in native AWS reporting, especially around memory consumption and over-provisioned EC2 instances, while still maintaining performance and reliability. Viewpost chose Metricly and its AWS cost and monitoring capabilities to help address these challenges.

With Metricly’s cost-management and monitoring features, Viewpost gained the visibility needed to right-size underused EC2 instances, improve alerting, and simplify dashboard-based monitoring. The result was a reduction in AWS infrastructure costs by more than half, along with more actionable performance insights and fewer tools for engineers to manage. Metricly also provided proactive, highly valued support as Viewpost expanded into containerized and serverless environments.
