Case Study: Nubank automates DynamoDB optimization with PointFive

Nubank automates 3,000+ DynamoDB remediations with PointFive

Nubank, one of the world's largest digital financial services platforms, faced a challenge in managing the high volume of cost optimization opportunities within its DynamoDB environments. While the company had existing tools for cloud cost visibility, they were not designed to detect hidden waste in DynamoDB configurations that emerged as usage patterns shifted over time. To close this gap, Nubank adopted PointFive and its platform to identify these optimization opportunities.

Using PointFive's GraphQL API, Nubank's engineering team built a custom automation pipeline that continuously evaluates recommendations and applies remediations without human intervention. This solution autonomously executed over 3,000 DynamoDB optimizations, capturing 2.5 times more savings potential than manual remediation and completely eliminating ongoing engineer involvement. PointFive enabled Nubank to turn cloud cost management into a continuous, automated process.
