Case Study: Major Publishing Company achieves 41% lower cloud costs with Relevance Lab

Driving Frictionless Business enabling Global Expansion ensuring Customer Experience at Optimized Cloud Infrastructure Costs

Major Publishing Company, a digital publishing organization expanding its customer base from 0.5 million to 1 million users across multiple regions, turned to Relevance Lab to improve its cloud operations. After migrating to a multi-cloud, multi-region environment, the company still faced challenges with always-on application availability, rising infrastructure costs, compliance requirements across geographies, and the complexity of managing hundreds of EC2 and RDS instances.

Relevance Lab implemented server consolidation, application performance monitoring, and a disciplined cloud operating model using weekly utilization reports, reserved instances, and operational optimizations. The result was a 58% reduction in EC2 and RDS instances, 41% lower hosting costs, 65% reduction in IT infrastructure cost, and 100% application availability, while improving performance to as fast as 50 ms transaction response times.
