Case Study: Red Spark achieves Serverless Containers and dynamic cluster scaling with Spot Elastigroup and Amazon ECS

Red Spark runs Serverless Containers with Spotinst Elastigroup and Amazon ECS

Red Spark is a fast‑growing digital advertising technology company that needed a reliable, highly scalable way to run containerized workloads and deliver ads to millions of consumers. To avoid deployment delays, wasted capacity, and manual cluster management, Red Spark turned to Spot’s Elastigroup integrated with Amazon ECS to give developers a safe, serverless container environment.

Spot’s Elastigroup for Amazon ECS implements “Tetris Scaling” and automatic headroom management to place tasks efficiently, maintain spare CPU/memory, and scale the cluster down to zero when idle. The result for Red Spark is predictable capacity for every Task and Service, improved instance utilization and developer velocity, reduced idle capacity and provisioning wait times, and clear task‑level instance utilization visibility — all delivered by Spot.
