Case Study: proteanTecs cuts Kubernetes costs in half with PerfectScale by DoiT

proteanTecs cuts Kubernetes costs by 50% with PerfectScale

proteanTecs, a company providing a cloud-based platform for monitoring advanced chips, faced significant Kubernetes cost overruns. Their DevOps team struggled with risk-averse resource allocations across more than 30 clusters on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, which led to inefficiency. Existing monitoring tools provided visibility but lacked the insights needed for optimization. They turned to PerfectScale for a solution.

By implementing PerfectScale, the proteanTecs team gained AI-driven recommendations to safely right-size their workloads. This resulted in cutting their development environment costs in half, from $10k to $5k per month, without impacting stability. PerfectScale also uncovered hidden performance issues like throttling and OOM kills that had gone undetected. The solution provided a foundation for a company-wide culture of cost-awareness and continuous optimization.
