Meet Cloudify
Cloudify provides customers with cloud orchestration and end-to-end network automation, extending their network and application services from their core location and making them accessible across branches and multi-access edge devices. The product works across public, private, hybrid and multi-cloud environments, automating DevOps operations and supporting cloud migration efforts.
The Challenge
Cloudify's SaaS product requires significant compute resources for complex engineering development. As an early-stage startup, they needed to guard limited resources carefully while avoiding over- or under-provisioning. Commitment-based discounts required accurate forecasting over 1-3 year terms, which was difficult for their varied usage patterns. Manual management of compute discounts meant they didn't always get maximum value from their efforts.
The Solution
Cloudify implemented Flexsave for Compute to automatically cover on-demand workloads in their AWS environment with rates equivalent to 1-year commitment discounts. This eliminated the need for manual forecasting and commitment management while providing flexibility for their development team to spin up instances as needed.
Results
- 23% monthly savings on AWS EC2 costs
- Dozens of hours saved each month by automating previously manual commitment management
- Complete flexibility to change workload configurations without worrying about on-demand prices
Flexsave for Compute really does the magic that we need by analyzing and covering our on-demand workloads. That helps us a lot because we can get those savings without all the manual effort we were doing before. We get a great cost reduction without any time consumption.
Yuval Rapaport, DevOps Engineer, Cloudify
Team Flexibility
Cloudify's team structure is especially suited to this kind of flexibility of compute resources. At Cloudify, each developer and customer success manager has the autonomy to spin up new instances as needed, because they are able to operate quickly and independently without needing to worry about the expense of on-demand workloads.
What's Next
As Cloudify grows their product portfolio and therefore their underlying cloud needs, Flexsave for Compute will continue to help keep their cloud costs optimized and automated.

What they say
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.
Douglas Zickuhr, Senior Data Platform Engineer at Personio
I love clicking through SELECT to understand how our environment and workloads are evolving. I probably check it every day. It's coffee and SELECT for me every morning.
Ian Fahey, Senior Analytics Engineer at Loop
You guys have the best UI experience that I've had of any software. It's like you just read my mind where, like, oh, I wish I could click there. Oh, I can
Diana Koshy, Sr. Director of Data Engineering at Kargo
SELECT feels like exactly what Paul and I would have built if we had locked ourselves in a room for 18 months to create our ideal monitoring solution.
Devin McGee, Data Engineering Lead at Home Chef
SELECT dramatically lowers the cognitive load to understanding Snowflake costs. I'm able to sit there and easily understand what's driving the cost. Not to blow smoke up your ass, but it's just so easy to do in your platform
Blake Baggett, Head of Data Operations at Entain
One of the most helpful cost rituals we've setup from SELECT is the weekly spend digest sent to Slack. I can start high level and ensure things are in check. If not, I can very quickly drill down into specific workloads which may have driven the cost spike and remediate them before they become a bigger issue.
Michael Revelo, Manager of data and analytics engineering at ClickUp
Through SELECT's automated savings feature and deep cost visibility, we were able to instantly lower our Snowflake spend by over 40% and achieve a 20X ROI on our SELECT investment.
Skyler Chi, SVP, GTM Productivity & Excellence at Exiger
Our costs had jumped up 3X as we scaled, so we're talking about 60% savings in Snowflake spend after adopting SELECT.
Edward Mancey, GTM Lead at Synthesia
DoiT was a true partner, not a vendor. They helped us understand the problem, refine the vision, and build something production-ready far faster than we could have on our own. Their expertise, responsiveness, and commitment made all the difference.
Dr. Anish Kapur, Founder & CEO, Promptly
DoiT's Customer Success and Forward Deployed Engineering teams work very closely with us. The regular sessions with our CSM keep us focused on the right priorities, and the FDEs provide the deep technical guidance we need to validate decisions and optimize our environment. That combination has been genuinely valuable for us.
Alexander Lundberg Santos, Platform Engineer at Extenda Retail
Every customer has unique usage patterns. Manual resource optimization simply didn't scale—we needed automation to ensure every customer, regardless of size, had right-sized infrastructure without consuming our team's capacity.
Brad Quinn, Lead Platform Engineer, PlayHQ
PerfectScale allowed us to grow capacity without growing cost. We effectively absorbed 30% more usage for free.
