Case Study: Promosis achieves 30% AWS cost savings and 5x database performance with Privo, a Navisite company

Promosis saves 30% on AWS and increases performance by 5x by partnering with Privo, a Navisite company

Promosis builds sweepstakes, skill contests, loyalty programs and instant‑win games to help clients engage their audiences. As the company rapidly scaled its AWS infrastructure, manual, reactive cost controls couldn’t keep pace with dynamic usage, creating rising cloud bills and a need for a proactive, automated cost‑management approach.

By adopting Privo’s Managed Billing service and portal and working with a dedicated billing expert, Promosis implemented Reserved Instance purchases, rightsizing and removal of unused resources and received advanced recommendations like migrating its database to Amazon Aurora. The optimizations cut monthly AWS hosting fees by over 30%, and the Aurora migration was estimated to reduce database costs by ~40% while increasing database performance by 5x.
