Helped us optimize AWS Cloud Spend
What do you like best about the product?
We were able to reduce our AWS cloud spend by almost 40%. This has taken a considerable amount of spend from a DevOps teams perspective. I would highly recommend CAST AI to other SaaS platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took a little bit of initial time in the Kubernetes configuration but it was worth. Seems to be all good as of now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- On a high volume sign up days, our systems were getting slow at times and other times, there was a spike in CPU usage resulting into high monthly cloud costs. Our systems were not optimized for spend.

Stop worrying about Kubernetes node pools if you moved to Cast.ai.
What do you like best about the product?
Cast Customer support to adapt to a large system like us was really great and they were eager to listen and do changes depending upon the suggestions/requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such. We have seen a lot of improvements in the products from where they started because we were one of their early adopters on a large scale.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use rebalancing extensively. That way our infrastructure stays optimized.
In terms of the Infrastructure or DevOps team, the Kubernetes management effort such as manual rightsizing, creation of node pools, and upgrade efforts are drastically reduced, so the DevOps team can focus on building products to improve developer productivity.
The mixed provision of spot v/s ondemand is an amazing feature.
