Case Study: FinTech company achieves 25–30% AWS cost reduction with ParkMyCloud

How One FinTech DevOps Team Automates Cost Optimization Using ParkMyCloud

Fintech Company, a rapidly scaling financial technology firm with a three-person DevOps team, was facing sharply rising AWS costs and limited bandwidth to manage infrastructure. The CTO demanded cost reductions but the team didn’t want to cut compute or undertake a risky migration, and had no time to build and maintain scripts to shut down idle instances — so they looked for a quick, easy-to-integrate tool and found ParkMyCloud’s SaaS scheduling and cost-optimization solution.

ParkMyCloud was up and running in under 10 minutes, automating schedules and policies to park idle instances nights and weekends, and enabling role/team-based self-service so non-DevOps users could control their own instances. As a result, Fintech Company cut its AWS bill by 25–30%, freed DevOps time previously spent handling start/stop requests, and now automatically places new instances on the correct schedules — delivering measurable savings without sacrificing capacity or productivity.
