Case Study: OutSystems cuts Kubernetes compute costs 43% with ScaleOps

OutSystems cuts Kubernetes compute costs 43% with ScaleOps

OutSystems, a low-code application development platform, faced a challenge with its multi-tenant Kubernetes service on AWS. Following a product conference, unpredictable usage spikes led to application outages because workloads were either over-provisioned, wasting capacity, or under-provisioned, causing crash loops. The platform team needed a way to make the service run efficiently and reliably without burdening their product engineers with constant manual tuning.

The company implemented the autonomous compute orchestration solution from ScaleOps. ScaleOps automatically and continuously adjusts compute and memory allocations for Kubernetes workloads in real-time. This allowed OutSystems to first right-size its resource allocations and then confidently consolidate nodes. The solution cut overall fleet compute costs by 43%, prevented outages, and freed product teams from infrastructure optimization work entirely.
