Case Study: Academia.edu reduces cloud costs and modernizes Kubernetes with nOps

Academia.edu reduces cloud costs and saves 20% more with nOps

Academia.edu, a global research platform, faced rising AWS costs while modernizing its infrastructure by migrating from ECS to Kubernetes (EKS). The challenge was to reduce and optimize cloud spending without taking on inflexible long-term commitments and to gain visibility into Kubernetes usage during the transition. They partnered with nOps for its Kubernetes Cost Visibility and Commitment Management services.

nOps provided the solution by delivering the needed visibility into container-level usage and flexible commitment management. This allowed Academia.edu to modernize with confidence, proactively controlling costs without over-committing. As a result, they successfully reduced their cloud costs during the migration and gained improved cost control and greater confidence in their long-term cloud financial planning.
