Case Study: a U.S.-based AI-powered content research and copywriting platform cuts CPU utilization by 70% with OpsTree

U.S.-based AI-powered Content Research and Copywriting Platform cuts CPU utilization by 70% with OpsTree

A U.S.-based AI-powered content research and copywriting platform was facing high hosting costs, API instability during traffic spikes, and a production server consistently running at 100% CPU utilization. Additional challenges included database corruption, vulnerability to DDoS attacks, and difficulties in migrating its tech stack. The company engaged OpsTree to achieve cost reduction and improve system performance, reliability, and security.

OpsTree executed a complete infrastructure overhaul by creating a new AWS architecture and implementing an internet-facing load balancer. They shifted from Amazon RDS to EC2, used Packer with Ansible for deployments, and introduced master/slave servers with parameter tuning. For security, they implemented a VPN to filter traffic and integrated Sentry for error tracking. The results included a 50% reduction in overall costs, a 70% cut in CPU utilization, an 80% reduction in malicious traffic, and the complete removal of DDoS attacks.
