Case Study: ShoutOUT reduces backend costs and simplifies scaling with Serverless Inc’s serverless AWS Lambda and API Gateway stack

Why we switched from docker to serverless

The customer, ShoutOUT, was a SaaS company running its services on Docker containers within Amazon ECS. As their number of services grew and traffic became unpredictable, they faced the challenge of scaling their infrastructure in a cost-effective way to handle sudden spikes. They sought a new solution to maintain high availability without the high operational costs, leading them to partner with Serverless Inc.

Serverless Inc. provided the Serverless Framework to help ShoutOUT migrate their Node.js services to a serverless architecture using AWS Lambda and API Gateway. This solution eliminated scaling concerns, ensured high availability and resiliency, and provided easy deployment and rollback capabilities. The results were significant, with ShoutOUT migrating 80% of its backend and achieving a considerable reduction in cost.
