SaaS platform migration
This SaaS provider needed faster scale-out and better cost control. We migrated their backend workloads to ECS, tuned autoscaling policies, and introduced financial visibility for the engineering team.
The situation
The application was running on a fleet of long-lived EC2 instances with manual scaling and uneven resource usage. Peak traffic required overprovisioning and deployments were tied to scheduled maintenance windows.
Improved response times and reduced monthly compute spend.
How we worked
Stabilise delivery early, then build the foundation that keeps it stable once we hand it back.
Assessed service dependencies, created an ECS migration plan, and prioritized low-risk services first.
Built task definitions, container images, and deployment pipelines with blue/green strategies.
Implemented scheduled scaling plus utilization-based triggers to handle predictable spikes.
Introduced cost dashboards and ownership tagging to keep spend transparent.

Afterwards
Measured after handover, once the client's own team was running the system without us.
