Case Study: Drop Bio Health boosts developer productivity and cuts cloud costs with Nitric

Drop Bio Health uses Nitric to transform developer productivity and deliver business value quickly

Drop Bio Health, an Australian at-home health technology company, faced challenges with cloud development complexity that slowed their innovation. Their small team was overloaded with DevOps work, dependent on a single member for deployments, and limited to one production release per day. This complexity introduced business risk and prevented them from shipping features quickly. They chose the Nitric framework to address these issues.

By implementing Nitric, Drop Bio Health migrated their application to a serverless architecture, leveraging cloud-native resources like API Gateways and Schedules. The solution from Nitric enabled fully automated, on-demand deployments, reducing a process that once took a day to just 5-20 minutes. The results included a 60% reduction in AWS hosting costs, a 12x increase in deployment frequency, and increased developer productivity, saving the need for a 30% headcount increase in DevOps support.
