Benefits

80% Infrastructure cost decrease

Summary:

As we implemented a cloud-native approach throughout the organization, we achieved a level of application resilience that could withstand any hardware failures. This allowed us to take advantage of cheaper spot instances and reduce our infrastructure costs by around 80%. Additionally, we incorporated "chaos engineering" into our daily operations, which proved to be highly effective.

Challenges:

  • High availability requirements

  • Over 100 services managed by different teams

  • Instability of spot market (lack of available servers)

Solution:

  • Introduce “chaos engineering” events to test applications and infrastructure resilience

  • PoC implementation for less important projects

  • Tuning of k8s pod affinity, priorities, auto-scaling strategies

  • Full adoption across all microservices
