Case Study: Nubank boosts AWS savings and cuts on-demand costs with ProsperOps

Nubank increases Effective Savings Rate by 11.65% with ProsperOps

Nubank, one of the largest digital financial services platforms in Latin America, faced challenges optimizing cloud costs for its highly dynamic AWS workloads. Their manual processes for managing discount commitments were time-consuming and their reliance on static Compute Savings Plans could not keep up with fluctuating demand, leading to persistent on-demand costs. The company partnered with ProsperOps and its Autonomous Discount Management (ADM) service to automate this complex process.

By implementing ProsperOps ADM, Nubank shifted to an autonomous, risk-aware strategy that uses a dynamic mix of commitment instruments. The solution automatically manages thousands of adjustments in the background. As a result, Nubank increased its Effective Savings Rate by 11.65% and reduced its on-demand costs by 53.59% within six months. ProsperOps delivered millions in incremental savings and freed the FinOps team to focus on higher-value initiatives.
