“Leading up to 2023, our business expanded due to organic growth as well as acquisitions. This led to rising AWS usage, and we wanted to ensure our AWS footprint was cost-optimized. Our AWS Enterprise Support Technical Account Manager (TAM) worked closely with our team to identify opportunities for cost optimization. Our TAM also conducted an in-depth analysis of our DynamoDB usage that revealed an opportunity to secure 1 and 3-year Reserved Capacity plans to optimize our usage. Lastly, our TAM showed our team how to identify cost optimization opportunities via the CID dashboards and ensured we had those properly set up in our environment. The cost optimization opportunities, specifically DynamoDB Reserved Capacity (RC), were not items that our team was aware of, and we would have missed out on the optimizations provided if not due to the proactive nature of our TAM. 
By implementing the cost optimization opportunities, we were able to reduce our monthly AWS spend by almost 10%. These cost savings have allowed us to invest in other areas of our business so that we can continue delivering features that our customers need. 
We are in the process of planning long-term strategic goals like an improved Disaster Recovery (DR) configuration that will improve our Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs). AWS Support and our TAM have been working hand-in-hand with us in the early planning stages and are setting us up for success in this initiative. AWS Support acts as an extension to our team and provides the right expertise when our team faces challenges or is looking for guidance.”

Duolingo teams work together to make language learning fun, free, and effective for anyone who wants to learn—wherever they are—and the company builds on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to meet those goals.

"We were tasked with upgrading dozens of Amazon Aurora MySQL databases by one or more major versions. These databases were utilized across hundreds of microservices hosted on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), and each had to be evaluated to identify potential impact and and what our upgrade plan was going to be. Our TAM engaged with our SRE and Operations teams to help us understand the upgrade options and workflows for our most critical databases. This included selecting which database versions to target, timelines to get the upgrades done on time, and connecting us to service SMEs for troubleshooting edge cases. We utilized AWS Infrastructure Event Management (IEM) through all of our database upgrades and our AWS Enterprise Support team reviewed our plans and supported us during maintenance windows. With the help of AWS Enterprise Support, we were able to complete all upgrades by their respective deadlines, and we also updated our runbooks to incorporate Aurora Blue/Green Deployments. That has reduced the overall impact of an upgrade from tens of minutes to tens of seconds."

“The AWS TAM quickly initiated multiple threads in the preparation phase, involving the right AWS experts who reviewed our architecture from a security, resilience, performance, and operational standpoint, all supporting our teams to mitigate the identified risks. I particularly appreciated the clear reporting and jointly built action plan that ensured all enhancements to our platforms were properly tracked and implemented in a timely manner. Giving our teams great reassurance going into the first games was a huge relief knowing we had our Cloud provider experts alongside us on site during the critical moments. And our collective efforts paid off. Throughout the 2022 World Cup, as the French national team advanced all the way up to the final, we broke multiple records—the final being the most watched broadcast on a French TV of all time, all programs and channels combined, gathering 24.1 million views with a peak at 29.4 million for the penalty shootouts and 3 million views on myTF1 online broadcast running fully on AWS. This was even more impressive as we were the target for a massive DDoS attack that we detected and blocked in real time using AWS Shield Advanced and WAF technologies without impacting the live broadcast experience for our viewers.”

PandaDoc

In 2020, PandaDoc, an all-in-one document automation software, achieved record growth as the world moved to more remote work and businesses had to figure out how to operate more efficiently. In order to meet the new demand for its software, including customers from new segments, PandaDoc quickly deployed more infrastructure and iterated on feature development, which created architectural artifacts that were not optimized for cost efficiency or performance. To tackle this problem, PandaDoc engaged Amazon Web Services (AWS) Enterprise Support in mid-2021 to help it facilitate future growth by adhering to best practices in cloud operations. With the central FinOps team and the cost-conscious architectural mindset in place, PandaDoc then set about to identify and take action on cost optimization opportunities. At this stage, an AWS technical account manager (TAM) worked with PandaDoc to deploy the Cloud Intelligence Dashboards (specifically the Trusted Advisor Organizational (TAO) dashboard and CUDOS), as part of the AWS Well-Architected Labs, to better visualize its cost and usage data as well as surface various cost optimization opportunities and impacts.

PandaDoc was able to use the dashboards to find and eliminate unused instances and to uncover new opportunities for compute savings plans. Making these changes increased its overall compute resource utilization up to 75 percent and resulted in another 20 percent in overall compute savings.

“The Cloud Intelligence Dashboard helped us visualize our Trusted Advisor flag checks alongside our AWS Cost and Usage Report. The visibility into our right-sizing recommendations and Amazon EC2 usage patterns enabled us to uncover so many opportunities to save costs without compromising performance or resiliency!.

WHALE offers brokers systems such as trading, risk control, clearing and settlement, customer relationship management (CRM), as well as data services such as quotes, news information, and fundamental analysis.

“We first engaged AWS Enterprise Support while designing network architecture for traffic flow between on-premises and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). Given how financial service institute (FSI) customers and partners are very sensitive to security compliance and high availability, AWS Enterprise Support follows well architected principles to collect our real demand with deep-dive spirit and provided solutions and solid technical support when deciding on the final networking architecture for on-premises and AWS with minimum effort and adjustments. In addition, Long Bridge paid a lot of attention to security compliance. With AWS Enterprise Support, the technical account manager (TAM) organized gameday sessions for the whole company, making Long Bridge employees more familiar with our security services and providing the chance to rehearse incident response and collaboration between cross-functional teams. We gained a lot from this support.

Lalamove

Founded in 2013, Lalamove began as an app to place on-demand, same-day, and advanced-order deliveries by connecting customers with a fleet of drivers. Currently Lalamove’s on-demand logistics services serve 7 million registered users in more than twenty cities across the globe. When Lalamove revamped its workload on Amazon Web Services (AWS), it used AWS Support Enterprise Plan for 24/7 consultative architectural guidance, and took advantage of AWS Infrastructure Event Management (IEM) during both the Kubernetes and database migration.

“AWS technical account managers were very helpful in setting up a detailed migration plan. Because we have a lot of databases running behind the scenes, we had to migrate very carefully over a period of 3 months, performing a proof of concept for each database. Migration windows were short, usually overnight, so that business could be up and running with new databases by 6 a.m. the following day. The AWS Support team would be on standby and treated our migration as a priority. The planning, live support during migration windows, and post-migration monitoring were critical in quickly resolving any technical issues that arose.

Both ADVANCE.AI and Atome Financial use Amazon Web Services (AWS) and employ AWS Support to further optimize.

With the help of Support, we overcame the challenges and migrated our platform to the cloud by adopting Cloud Architecture Review, Cloud Best Practice Guidance, and Infrastructure Event Management—all part of the AWS Enterprise Support plan. During the cloud migration, Advanced Intelligence Group used its designated Technical Account Manager (TAM), as provided in the enterprise Support plan, as a single point of contact. This highly improved our cloud experience through fast incident response, service deep dive, and proactive risk assessment. Additionally, the TAM advised on cost optimization from a customer perspective, which made us build deep trust and feel more confident in the cloud journey.

The company was expanding and needed to acquire the Information Security Management System (ISMS) certification, and we reached out to AWS Enterprise Support for technical assistance with security.

Based on this, we moved to the infrastructure that is more secure and improved efficiency in terms of service availability, sustainability and reliability while reducing operating costs. The migration was completed within the planned timeline, and the downtime in the existing environment was minimal, all of which is attributable to AWS Enterprise Support who were at our service throughout the process from the preparation to the cut over to the stabilization using Infrastructure Event Management (IEM). Needless to say, we successfully obtained the ISMS certification for the new environment.  We still run monthly sessions with a designated TAM who offers not only technical support on our new production environment but also updates on new AWS services and technologies, which we use as insights on the technical directions to pursue.

Impressions after using the service:
The service provided us with detailed information on system resources, which had been difficult to grasp in the past, as well as techniques and know-how to grasp the latest information on system maintenance and service updates, etc. We are now more proactive in utilizing AWS. We felt comfortable with the presence of a Technical Account Manager “TAM (Technical Account Manager)” who understands our environments, and the support that they provided to us. The PDCA cycle of the operation and continuous improvement, along with recommendations for cost optimization while maintaining availability, has resulted in a very high level of satisfaction, which is reflected in the effectiveness of the service. This has also given us confidence when launching a new system on AWS.

Impressions after using the AWS Enterprise Support:
We are able to utilize AWS proactively and also have the confidence to set up new systems on AWS, because we have learned AWS techniques and knowledge that were previously difficult to understand, and feel safe of having a TAM, The knowledge provided includes detailed information on system resources, system maintenance and new service updates. Satisfaction with the TAM is very high and it has also been effective.
