From $17K to $2.8K
Using Docker & Coolify
AWS S3 lifecycle policies
The client is a small-to-medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Europe, specializing in the industrial machinery sector. Although highly skilled in their domain, they faced serious infrastructure inefficiencies and rising operational costs due to a fragmented and outdated cloud environment.
When the client approached KP Infotech, they were dealing with unpredictable and excessive cloud bills, along with operational bottlenecks. Their existing infrastructure consisted of:
Their workloads were running on oversized DigitalOcean VMs, consuming unnecessary CPU and memory, inflating costs without added value.
They were using AWS S3 for all data without proper lifecycle management, keeping outdated logs, backups, and cold data in expensive tiers.
Applications were deployed manually on virtual machines, leading to time-consuming maintenance, difficult scaling, and inconsistent environments.
This inefficient setup had been running for over 5 years, resulting in more than $500,000 in avoidable infrastructure costs.
Migrated all workloads from DigitalOcean to Hostinger Cloud, which provided comparable performance at a significantly lower cost.
Containerized all services using Docker, enabling repeatable and isolated deployments.
Deployed and managed these containers using Coolify, an open-source platform similar to Heroku, allowing the client to manage deployments visually and automate scaling.
Implemented S3 Intelligent-Tiering and Lifecycle Policies to automatically move infrequently accessed data to cheaper storage classes.
Performed a one-time cleanup of non-essential data, reclaiming storage and reducing long-term cost exposure.
Set up ongoing monitoring and tagging to help the client proactively manage data growth.
Metric | Before | After |
---|---|---|
Monthly Cloud Cost | $17,000 ($12K AWS + $5K DO) | $2,800 ($2K AWS + $800 Hostinger) |
Maintenance Effort | Manual, time-consuming | Automated deployments |
Scalability | Rigid VMs | Seamless Docker scaling via Coolify |
Storage Efficiency | Flat S3 tiering | Tiered with lifecycle automation |
The ROI with KP Infotech was immediate. They slashed our monthly cloud bill from $17,000 to under $3,000 — and finally gave our tech team room to breathe. Their clarity, execution, and technical depth were exactly what we needed.
