Case Study: CattleEye cuts EC2 costs by over 60% with PerfectScale for Spot

CattleEye cuts EC2 costs by over 60% with PerfectScale

CattleEye, a hardware-independent autonomous livestock monitoring platform, faced a significant challenge as their AWS compute costs tripled alongside their growing customer base. Their compute-intensive workloads for processing video footage had irregular demand patterns, making Reserved Instances impractical and manual Spot adoption difficult. They partnered with PerfectScale to address this using its PerfectScale for Spot service.

PerfectScale implemented its solution to automatically manage instance composition in CattleEye's Auto Scaling Groups. This enabled the seamless adoption of Spot instances, providing intelligent recommendations to maximize savings. The results were immediate, with CattleEye cutting their on-demand EC2 costs by over 60% and converting 100% of their batch processing to run on AWS Spot instances. Furthermore, the cost optimization helped CattleEye complete the AWS Foundational Technical Review, which opened new sales channels and secured additional funding.
