Case Study: Devada achieves $4K in 3 months and stronger cloud security and automation with NetApp CloudCheckr

How Devada Uses CloudCheckr to Secure, Mature, and Automate

Devada, the team behind DZone.com and the AnswerHub SaaS platform used by organizations like IBM, Epic Games, and Disney Pixar, needed better cloud governance. The DevOps group lacked mature, team-level processes and visibility across accounts, was spending up to 90% of its time on audit preparation and questionnaires, and needed improved compliance, automation, and lower onboarding and infrastructure costs.

By adopting CloudCheckr (now part of Spot by NetApp), Devada gained continuous compliance monitoring, multi-account visibility, automated RI and resource management, and actionable optimization insights. The platform reduced audit overhead, streamlined onboarding, helped clean up underutilized resources, and delivered $4K in savings in the first three months while positioning the team to scale toward SOC2 compliance.
