Flexsave for Compute allows us to make infrastructure decisions independent of commitment considerations while giving us the savings of commitments at the same time. While we grow as a company and as we have more customers in production, we need more and more compute. Flexsave for Compute allows us to save on this compute without requiring anything from me or my team. As we grow in production, the savings from Flexsave for Compute grows with us.

The Challenge

As a scaling startup with rapidly-changing product requirements, Identiq struggled with AWS commitment-based discounts like Reserved Instances. Forecasting compute needs across regions and machine types was complex, and commitments created financial risks if requirements changed. The team paid premium on-demand rates to avoid over-commitment risks.

The Solution

DoiT's Flexsave for Compute automatically applies equivalent savings of 1-year commitments to on-demand workloads while absorbing financial risk. The solution scans workloads automatically and applies discounts without code changes, eliminating forecasting complexity and commitment limitations.

Results

  • Reduce overall EC2 costs by 12%
  • Lower on-demand EC2 costs by over 15%
  • Optimally cover workloads without managing commitments
  • Simplified finance team workload with month-to-month billing

Meet Identiq

Identiq serves as a top-level security layer, preventing new-user fraud so online businesses can confidently accept new users. The company validates users with a P2P network without sharing customer data, leveraging the experience and trust of network members to stop fraudsters masquerading as legitimate users with stolen credit cards.

Implementation Challenges

Forecasting required coordination with engineering teams to scope resource requirements, determine machine types, and identify global regions. Requirements could change as customers came and went, altering regional compute needs. Machine types could be phased out as software evolved, and projects could end ahead of schedule. The finance team preferred fiscal-year cycles, but mid-year commitments would span two fiscal years, adding complexity.

Seamless Implementation

Flexsave for Compute activated seamlessly without diverting development teams from current projects. No code changes were required for implementation. The solution simplified workload for the finance team by handling costs month-to-month alongside the AWS bill, eliminating the need to amortize reserved compute costs over multiple fiscal years.

What they say

Promptly

DoiT was a true partner, not a vendor. They helped us understand the problem, refine the vision, and build something production-ready far faster than we could have on our own. Their expertise, responsiveness, and commitment made all the difference.

Dr. Anish Kapur, Founder & CEO, Promptly

Extenda Retail

DoiT's Customer Success and Forward Deployed Engineering teams work very closely with us. The regular sessions with our CSM keep us focused on the right priorities, and the FDEs provide the deep technical guidance we need to validate decisions and optimize our environment. That combination has been genuinely valuable for us.

Alexander Lundberg Santos, Platform Engineer at Extenda Retail

Monta

When we started working with DoiT, we deployed Flexsave to save time and reduce complexity. We still use it today. But what really stands out is the expert support. Having someone to collaborate with on deep cloud cost topics, someone who really understands the nuances, is incredibly valuable.

Jesper Terkelsen, CTO at Monta

Wicked Reports

DoiT's Cloud Accelerator turned our AI idea into a shipped product, saving at least three months of development and delivering reliable, explainable insights our customers trust.

Sentric Music

With maybe 5-10 minutes, Ava had guided me right down into the low-level detail of the services that we were running in our compute environment, named the exact instances that were starting to chew through our money, produced a report for me that showed that this was almost a direct correlation to the cost growth that we were seeing, which meant that we were able to get on top of it pretty much immediately.
