Case Study: PlayHQ cuts Kubernetes costs and automates rightsizing with PerfectScale

PlayHQ cuts non-production Kubernetes costs 40% with PerfectScale

PlayHQ, a provider of critical digital infrastructure for community sports competitions, faced rising and unpredictable Kubernetes costs as its multi-tenant customer base expanded. Manual workload rightsizing was no longer feasible for their lean team, and other solutions like OpenCost presented too much operational overhead. They turned to vendor PerfectScale to automate cost optimization and gain better visibility.

By implementing PerfectScale, PlayHQ automated Kubernetes rightsizing with features like maintenance windows and namespace-level exclusions. This resulted in a 40% reduction in non-production costs and a 20% reduction in production costs, saving tens of thousands of dollars annually. PerfectScale also provided real-time per-tenant cost visibility and faster remediation of resiliency issues.
