Yotpo, a leading e-commerce marketing platform, needed a better way to manage rapidly changing EC2 usage across thousands of AWS machines. Their team struggled to forecast compute demand far enough in advance to buy Reserved Instances efficiently, which led to heavy manual work and high On-Demand cloud spending. Zesty’s Commitment Manager helped solve this challenge.

Using Zesty’s Commitment Manager, Yotpo automated the buying and selling of Reserved Instances based on real-time usage data from AWS logs. As a result, Yotpo now covers about 95% of its EC2 usage with Reserved Instances and has reduced compute costs by more than 40%, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars annually while freeing engineers to focus on product work.
