Case Study: Rippling achieves cloud cost accountability and FinOps visibility with Vantage

Rippling drives FinOps accountability across 1,000+ engineers with Vantage

Rippling, a global workforce management platform, faced the challenge of managing cloud and infrastructure costs across its large, fast-growing engineering organization. With over 1,000 engineers across 200 teams using a multi-vendor stack including AWS, MongoDB, and Datadog, they needed a robust FinOps platform to enforce strict budget accountability and provide clear cost visibility. They turned to Vantage to solve this.

Using Vantage, Rippling implemented Virtual Tags for precise cost allocation and built automated budget governance treated with the urgency of a production incident. The solution provided a single pane of glass for cost visibility across all their providers, including AI services. Vantage became the core foundation of their FinOps practice, enabling Rippling to protect its margins, sustain strong growth, and hold engineering teams accountable for their cloud spend.
