Case Study: Inneractive achieves major AWS cost savings — 20–30% off monthly bill and 70% on EC2 — with Spot

How Inneractive is using our platform to save thousands of dollars every month!

Inneractive, a global mobile ad exchange operator, faced extreme, variable loads—billions of requests and terabytes of data daily—and rising AWS infrastructure costs while needing high uptime. To cut spend without sacrificing performance, Inneractive evaluated Spot’s Elastigroup (including the Elastigroup ECS Autoscaler) to run their EC2 Auto-Scaling Groups and ECS clusters on spot instances and mixed instance types.

Spot imported Inneractive’s existing Auto-Scaling Groups and ECS clusters into Elastigroup, enabled mixed spot/on‑demand capacity, and used predictive replacement and Tetris-style autoscaling to optimize task placement and availability. As a result, Inneractive configured the solution in days and reduced infrastructure costs substantially—saving tens of thousands of dollars (about 20–30% off their total monthly AWS bill and roughly 70% of EC2 costs) while maintaining platform performance.
