Meet Aktios

Aktios is a tech company that specializes in the commercial distribution of grocery products. With the global online grocery market expected to exceed $2 trillion in 2030, Aktios' leadership saw a need to specialize in the development, maintenance, and operation of e-commerce solutions for grocers. Aktios has a deep understanding of grocers' need for a flexible, scalable infrastructure that can flex with customer demand and help them manage complex assortments, prices, and supply chains. The company's client base, a mix of big and small grocers based mainly in Spain, is growing as it pursues expansion into Eastern Europe and South America.

The Challenge

Aktios faced complex operational challenges with 11 different billing accounts requiring manual tracking and reporting. The company needed seamless scalability for grocery clients who start small but require rapid infrastructure growth. They required 24/7 expert support while maintaining cost-effectiveness for their expanding business.

The Solution

DoiT provided architectural review and ongoing support for Aktios' Google Cloud infrastructure. The partnership includes flexible GKE-based containerized workloads with autoscaling, simplified billing management through DoiT's technology portfolio, and expert technical support for hardware choices and performance tuning.

Results

  • Simplified billing process saves time and reduces operational overhead across multiple accounts
  • Flexible GKE infrastructure automatically scales to meet sudden customer demand spikes
  • Expert technical support enables rapid problem resolution for 24/7 e-commerce operations

When you drive a car, you don't check the engine—you just drive. The infrastructure supporting our services is the same. I don't have to worry about the infrastructure, I can just focus on the solution. This is what DoiT does for us.

Gonzalo Perez Gasca, General Manager, Aktios

Flexible, scalable, elastic infrastructure

Aktios' clients tend to start small and with low volume, so flexibility and scalability are critical as they gain experience, take more orders, and handle higher website activity. Aktios runs many containerized Compute Engine workloads, which rely heavily on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) for orchestration. Because GKE autoscales, Aktios can respond immediately to sudden customer demand. DoiT reviewed Aktios' architecture when they first began working together and has been solving their questions about GKE since. Aktios has also been using Google BigQuery to create reports and help analyze its KPIs.

Cost savings with smarter cloud operations

Aktios can now track and forecast its cloud costs more easily. All of DoiT's products and services support the company with flexibility, scalability, and easy-to-use cost management. Aktios can deliver expert solutions at good prices to customers because they're able to control their own expenses and be efficient. Simplifying the billing process with DoiT's technology portfolio makes reporting more accurate while saving time and money.

Running at speed to meet customer needs

In e-commerce, speed is of the essence. Customers expect quick replies, and businesses need to be ready to problem-solve at a moment's notice. DoiT offers Aktios expert technical support unlike anything it had experienced, giving the company confidence to tackle any technical challenges. The DoiT team has helped with hardware choices, performance tuning, and architecture changes. Recently, while setting up new OPNsense firewalls behind a load balancer, Aktios hit issues that DoiT helped them navigate. The online channel is quite stressful because everything needs to happen in one second, so having a partner who answers and supports quickly is essential.

Accrete AI

This has let us get a better idea of what our cost of goods sold really is. It's not every day you come across something that delivers value as quickly as yours did for us. I was seeing useful insights inside the POC, and we had only deployed it to a couple of real clusters.

Jason Moore, Principal DevOps Engineer, Accrete AI

Akamai

Eliminating the need to tag thousands of resources has freed up my team and we've invested our efforts in enhancing our platform significantly.

Ziv Sivan, VP of Engineering

OneFootball

PerfectScale by DoiT has become an important part of how we optimize Kubernetes at scale at OneFootball. It gives our platform team the visibility, automation, resiliency insights, and confidence we need to balance cost efficiency with production readiness, especially as we prepare for major global football moments like the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Andrea Benfatto, Platform/Cloud Runtime Engineering Manager

Raptive

Cloudflow's new RDS End of Life alerts have allowed us to be more proactive on keeping our database instances up-to-date. The new solution gives us internal visibility ahead of time so that we can prepare for upgrades, instead of having to upgrade under pressure while incurring extended support costs.

Jon Fairbanks, Site Reliability Engineering Manager

Luma Health

PerfectScale cut 40% off our total EKS spend, and the automations handle what used to take our team 20 hours a month. Now we spend that time on reliability and performance instead of chasing cost metrics.

Caio Cristo, Director of Infrastructure/SRE

Luxury Escapes

What I really like about DoiT's approach is that you're very hands-on and proactive. Satyam would ping me a few times a sprint, letting me know about the most current features, checking in on how things are going. When we are going through a peak time, that proactiveness makes a real difference. Satyam always comes through whenever we need support and helps us leverage the right experts to get us where we need to be.

SELECT has made important cost data readily accessible. I will often pull it up during engineering design reviews so we can quickly evaluate cost impact and projections and factor that into our design decisions.
