Meet Starchive
Starchive is a digital asset management platform designed for today's creators. Its mission is to make it easy for creators to access, use, and build on their work. With over a decade of experience, including archiving Bob Dylan's catalog, Starchive offers a system that mirrors an artist's mind, allowing for seamless storage and organization of digital assets. Key features include advanced search, access control, version control, and Web3 integration, making it a crucial tool for commercial, cultural, and community creators.
The Challenge
As Starchive's user base grew, cloud spend increased urgently, requiring better linkage to value and unit economics. Cloud costs escalated quickly, outpacing existing budgeting guardrails. The introduction of AI-assisted functionalities and image recognition capabilities compounded this surge. Without clear strategy to track and manage costs, Starchive faced significant operational inefficiencies due to missing allocations, guardrails, and near real-time visibility.
The Solution
DoiT conducted a thorough governed optimization review of Starchive's AWS workload across account, resource type, and cost categories. Leveraging Amazon CloudWatch and AWS Compute Optimizer data, DoiT identified opportunities to downsize and de-provision underutilized resources. DoiT implemented Flexsave for Compute and introduced a comprehensive tagging strategy to enable allocations-grade reporting and unit economics. The team updated Infrastructure as Code to include tags for dynamically created resources and enforced tag policies at the organizational level.
Results
- Achieved 32% annual savings on cloud spend through cost optimization and Flexsave for Compute
- Gained ability to model business margins accurately with insights into cost of production and service delivery
- Improved budgeting and strategic planning with better resource allocation and investment capabilities
- Strengthened confidence to scale AI features on AWS with comprehensive cost tracking and visibility
DoiT's expertise in AWS cost optimization has been a game-changer for us. With their help, we saved 32% annually and gained critical insights into our cost structure. Working with DoiT has significantly improved our budgeting and forecasting capabilities, allowing us to focus more on innovation and growth. The DoiT team has been an absolute joy to work with and I have learned so much from this process!
Peter Agelasto, Cofounder and CTO, Starchive
Implementation Details
The new tagging strategy involved updating Starchive's Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to include tags for dynamically created resources such as AWS Lambda and Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) tasks. The teams at DoiT and Starchive manually tagged static resources using AWS Tag Editor, closing gaps for complete coverage. Finally, Starchive enforced tag policies at the organizational level, ensuring consistent usage across the board and preventing untagged spend from reaching production. This strategy allowed Starchive to conduct detailed cost analyses, enabling it to derive critical Unit Economics metrics.

What they say
On integrating DataHub, the DoiT team was very hands-on to the point where DoiT support put together the first ingestion script and pipeline to unlock us.
Kyle Espinola, Head of Platform Engineering
“PerfectScale gives us the confidence to automate Kubernetes optimization while letting our engineers focus on building what matters.”
Josh Zarrabi, Infrastructure Engineer
“Without PerfectScale by DoiT, I don't know how we would do it. We'd have to have twice the number of people on my team to stay on top of it. With PerfectScale, we can focus on the more strategic issues.”
David Adkins, Director of Software and Platform Engineering
Connecting IBM and AWS privately was the piece we needed to get right, and we wanted to move faster on it than we could on our own. DoiT worked through the options with us, found the subnet overlap that was breaking the routing, and made it stable. That unblocked everything else.
DevOps Lead, Software Projects
Attribute™'s platform is truly unique. We now have crystal-clear visibility into our cloud spend at the workload and tenant level, and that insight has already led to actionable savings and powerful insights as we further scale our service.
Paul White, VP of Engineering, Shasta Cloud
We have worked with DoiT for many years, and there has been an increasing number of capabilities and features in DoiT Cloud Intelligence. We've embedded features such as Cloud Analytics and Reports in our own FinOps processes, it's become core to what we do.
Martin Lee, Director of Operations
DoiT gave us the confidence to move from experimentation to production. They helped us understand the right way to build AI for the real world.
Milad Rezazadeh, CTO
Attribute™'s cost grouping technology took our cost visibility and allocation to a whole new level. Now, our teams are fully accountable for their budgets, significantly improving our cloud efficiency and helping us minimize unnecessary costs.
Eli Zilbershtein, Head of DevOps, Hippo
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
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
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.
Kfir Lippmann, CFO, Salt Security
Attribute™ translates complex cloud bills into actionable, business-centric insights that empower our engineering teams to take true ownership of their costs.
Balamurugan Mohandossgandhi, Head of IT and Infrastructure, PropertyGuru
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.
