Pump.co is deeply committed to supporting startups in their journey to optimize AWS spending by leveraging the enticing incentives for long-term commitments offered by AWS, and all at absolutely no cost. Today, we are thrilled to highlight the inspiring success tale of Arc Boat, one of our pioneering clients, who, with our guidance, has managed to pocket nearly $5,000 in savings within just a few months, without incurring any charges. What's truly remarkable is that Arc Boat, along with fellow startups, can continue to enjoy the benefits of these cost savings for years to come, setting a solid foundation for their sustained growth and prosperity.
How it works
Let's dive deeper into the intricacies of how we facilitated Arc Boat's substantial $5,000 savings on their AWS expenditure:
Employing our cutting-edge AI technology, we meticulously analyze the historical spending patterns of Arc Boat on AWS, enabling us to glean invaluable insights into the utilization breakdown across various AWS services. For instance, dating back to November 2023, our software identified Arc Boat's consistent reliance on specific services such as Amazon RDS (Amazon Relational Database Service), Amazon EC2 (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - Compute), Amazon Lambda, and Amazon ECS (Amazon Elastic Container Service). Armed with this invaluable data, our software, in synergy with our expert team, strategically opted to transition from on-demand commitments to long-term savings by procuring Reserved Instances (RIs), which come with extended contract terms typically lasting one or three years.
In our collaborative efforts with Arc Boat, we successfully swapped out on-demand commitments for these long-term savings, achieving a commendable 62% reduction in costs across Amazon ECS and Amazon EC2 through our specialized compute savings plan. Furthermore, we provided Arc Boat with tailored enablement sessions, imparting essential insights on how to effectively leverage these commitments. Additionally, we've empowered Arc Boat with a streamlined user experience, allowing them to autonomously analyze their AWS spending, providing granular insights by service, price, and personalized recommendations.
Moreover, we've equipped clients like Arc Boat with access to Pump Secure, an advanced service that facilitates comprehensive scans across their AWS environment to identify vulnerabilities, all at zero cost. Beyond mere identification, Pump Secure also offers actionable insights on how to effectively mitigate these vulnerabilities, bolstering the security posture of businesses like Arc Boat.
At Pump.co, our overarching mission is to empower startups like Arc Boat to optimize their AWS utilization across all aspects of their operations, thereby laying the groundwork for sustainable growth and enduring success.
