Case Study: BTC Corporation achieves 80% reduction in AWS EC2 costs with Spot (Spotinst)

BTC Corporation Reduces AWS EC2 Costs by 80%

BTC Corporation (BTC), a leading Japanese technology consultancy and system integrator, faced rising AWS EC2 costs and complex management for highly dynamic customer workloads (e.g., e‑commerce peaks). Reserved Instances were impractical and unmanaged Spot Instances were too risky, so BTC evaluated Spot’s continuous cloud optimization SaaS to improve cost-efficiency and simplify EC2 operations.

Spot deployed its platform to automate Spot Instance management, provide intelligent auto‑scaling, container‑driven scaling for ECS/EKS, and predictive interruption handling (~15 minutes). The result: BTC reduced EC2 spend by over 70% (as much as 80% reported), simplified infrastructure management, gained per‑container cost visibility and multi‑cloud portability, and achieved rapid ROI—enabling BTC to offer Spot to its customers.
