Meet Superbet
Superbet is a tech and entertainment company founded in 2008, with the mission of bringing exciting, technology-powered entertainment in sports and gaming to millions of customers around the world. The group has operations or tech hubs in 10 countries, with the most important markets being Romania, Belgium and Poland. Blackstone made a strategic minority investment of 175 million euros in the company in 2019. Online sports betting is typically a transactional affair, but Superbet launched its platform six years ago with a different vision. Broadening the ecosystem to include chat rooms, user following, extensive stats and results, Superbet turned sports betting into an entertainment experience where users come to socialize, exchange tips, and enjoy themselves.
The Challenge
Superbet's cloud costs were growing faster than revenue as the platform scaled 20-30 times in just a few years. The company prioritized speed over cost efficiency during rapid growth, leading to inefficient lift-and-shift migrations. Fluctuating demand from betting spikes required keeping 25% of workloads uncommitted, limiting access to commitment-based AWS discounts like Reserved Instances and Savings Plans.
The Solution
DoiT implemented Flexsave for Compute to automatically optimize the uncommitted 25% of workloads while maintaining flexibility. Cloud Reliability Engineers helped identify and remove inefficiencies like unused discs and unnecessary CloudTrail accounts. DoiT Cloud Analytics provided granular cost visibility through Allocations, enabling proactive cost management and departmental cost allocation.
Results
- Achieved 21% all-time effective savings rate with AWS through automated optimization
- Reduced total cloud bill by 6% while maintaining operational flexibility
- Increased commitment coverage from 75% to 92% of workloads through Flexsave for Compute
- Saved approximately $200,000 in cloud costs through automated compute optimization
- Established FinOps culture across organization with self-serve cost visibility tools
When we speak with DoiT CREs, it's like they're part of our team. They're available, they're down to earth, and they give us direct common sense advice. They really help us to understand the issues and how to solve them.
Renato Klarić, Technical Program Manager, Superbet
Automated Savings with Flexsave for Compute
DoiT recommended Flexsave for Compute to generate automated savings while maintaining flexibility for the uncommitted 25% of AWS EC2 workloads. Flexsave for Compute optimizes instances not covered by commitments and auto-applies discounted rates. This allows Superbet to remain flexible with cloud usage while ensuring the best available price for compute instances, all without spending time manually searching for discounts. The solution immediately takes care of new machine provisioning and reduces compute resource costs going forward.
Building More Efficient Cloud Architecture
Superbet and DoiT began optimizing cloud usage by removing inefficiencies from rapid growth. A key challenge was lack of visibility into which infrastructure aspects were costing more than necessary. DoiT helped Superbet understand common cloud billing mistakes, such as incurring costs from enabling services and forgetting about them. Cloud Reliability Engineers helped identify unnecessary services like unused discs and unneeded AWS CloudTrail accounts, reducing overall cloud expenditure. DoiT CREs now help Superbet make architectural decisions around containers, databases, and other infrastructure choices.
Understanding Cloud Costs with DoiT Console
A key part of Superbet's FinOps journey centered on using DoiT Cloud Analytics for clear, granular visibility of cloud costs. With Cloud Analytics, Superbet can spot and understand rising costs as they emerge, rather than reviewing them after the fact. This helps quickly identify savings and take action. With Allocations, Superbet can allocate cloud costs to relevant departments and projects to understand spending patterns and identify trends to keep costs under control. The long-term approach of get visibility, optimize, govern resonated with Superbet's goals.
Results and Future Partnership
Since adopting Flexsave for Compute, Superbet now covers 92% of workloads with commitments, up from 75%. The company has saved around $200,000, achieving 21% all-time effective savings rate and 6% reduction in total cloud bill. With DoiT CRE support and self-serve access to the DoiT Console, FinOps culture is becoming well established across the organization. Users now use the console for fast insights into cloud spend and make informed decisions to reduce inefficiencies. As Superbet continues developing its business, it plans to work even more closely with DoiT to support future growth.

What they say
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.
Jason Moore, Principal DevOps Engineer, Accrete AI
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
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
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
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
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.
Chiamaka Ibeme, Engineering Manager, Platform
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.
