Case Study: Avalara achieves 500% ROI and cuts manual cloud governance by 80% with Stacklet

Avalara cuts manual governance 80% with Stacklet

Avalara, a software provider, faced challenges with rapidly increasing cloud spending and a lack of scalable cost monitoring. Their FinOps program struggled with manual workflows and tools that developers found frustrating and ineffective, leading to a significant optimization backlog. They sought a solution that would align with their team's workflows to maximize the value of their cloud investments.

By implementing the Stacklet Platform, based on the Cloud Custodian open-source project, Avalara automated governance policies across their large-scale cloud environment. Stacklet provided high visibility through an asset database and integrated into existing engineer workflows. This solution delivered a 500% return on investment within months, reduced the run rate of certain services by 30-60%, and cut manual cost governance processes by up to 80%.
