Moralis Cuts AWS Costs 10% While Scaling Web3

DoiT Cloud Reliability Engineers optimized Moralis's AWS architecture, applied Flexsave for Compute, and migrated Citus workloads to DynamoDB and S3.

Meet Moralis

Moralis offers enterprise-grade APIs and real-time blockchain data to make Web3 development easy. As a platform, it's designed to streamline and simplify the development of decentralized applications (dApps) and Web3 projects, enabling developers to go-live within days, instead of months. By providing a comprehensive suite of backend tools, Moralis allows developers to focus on creating engaging and robust user experiences without worrying about complex infrastructure management. The Moralis Academy also runs courses to help educate and grow the Web3 community.

The Challenge

After migrating to AWS, Moralis faced multiple database issues in the new environment and had several unoptimized workloads. One major workload was running Citus on Amazon EC2 at significant cost. The company also struggled with quota requests on new AWS accounts and needed expertise for migrating to unfamiliar technologies like DynamoDB.

The Solution

DoiT provided expert Cloud Reliability Engineers to conduct architecture, cost optimization, and security posture reviews. The team helped Moralis implement backup strategies, multi-region capabilities, and migrate from Citus to S3 and DynamoDB. DoiT also expedited quota requests and provided ongoing support for infrastructure optimization and best practices guidance.

Results

  • Achieved 10% cost savings through Flexsave for Compute implementation
  • Reduced network costs by fixing NAT gateway configuration to keep traffic AWS-internal
  • Improved infrastructure reliability with multi-region capabilities and backup strategies
  • Streamlined cost tracking with custom financial reports and account-level visibility

With the financial reports from the DoiT console, it's really easy to track down infra costs, and to monitor any changes over time.

Johan Hernefeldt, Head of DevOps and SRE, Moralis

Cost Optimization Results

Since using Flexsave for Compute, Moralis has seen cost savings of 10%. DoiT helped fix NAT gateway configuration issues where traffic was bouncing through the internet and back in again. By setting up traffic to be AWS internal, Moralis saved significant infrastructure cost. DoiT also helped set up custom reports with overviews of infrastructure cost, making it easy to track down costs and monitor changes over time.

Infrastructure Improvements

Moralis has adopted several of DoiT's recommendations, including backup strategies and multi-region capabilities. DoiT provided recommendations on using key features with EKS, such as annotations that keep pods together inside the availability zone, minimizing network jumps. Getting increased quota requests on new accounts became much faster since onboarding with DoiT.

What's Next

Moralis is using its learnings to continue building on its mission of Web3 growth, adding new features, additional blockchains, and improved data handling. The company is adding more chains and features to their API while simplifying existing workflows, making it even easier to use their products.

Island

You can't tag a customer in a multi-tenant environment. Attribute™ finally shows us what each customer costs and what's driving those costs.

Omri Cohen, Director of Engineering, Platform

Claroty

Attribute™'s data is truly unmatched. No other solution on the market could deliver the precise customer cost and usage profiles we needed in such a complex infrastructure. Within weeks, the data from Attribute™ transformed our understanding of cost structures, influencing key strategic decisions in pricing, renegotiations, and market positioning.

Jonathan Langer, COO, Claroty

Salt Security

Attribute™ simplified tracking customer costs in our multi-tenant environments. Customer cost measurement is now clear and standardized, and finance gets the business context they need. Integration was quick and required no changes.

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.
