Case Study: Viewpost achieves 50% AWS cost reduction and ongoing cost control with Virtana (CloudWisdom)

Viewpost decreases AWS expense by 50% and maintains ongoing cost control

Viewpost, an Orlando‑based fintech serving over 300,000 customers, faced limited visibility into AWS resource costs as it scaled to a fully cloud‑based infrastructure. Native AWS tooling and large daily CSV exports left gaps that encouraged overprovisioning; Viewpost engaged Virtana and adopted its CloudWisdom product to gain the detailed cost and memory visibility they needed.

Virtana’s CloudWisdom provided proactive reports, memory‑footprinting and right‑sizing recommendations, plus hands‑on support, enabling Viewpost to resize and decommission underused instances. The result: AWS expenses were reduced by more than half and ongoing cost control was maintained—including uncovered unused instances that saved $1,500 per month—while preserving performance.
