Folloze Boosts Performance 30% on AWS

DoiT's Cloud Reliability Engineers led a two-phase AWS migration with just two hours of downtime, securing AWS funding and automating cost optimization.

Meet Folloze

Folloze created the world's first and only no-code B2B Buyer Experience Platform, enabling marketers to quickly build digital experiences without technical background or coding skills. When businesses use Folloze, digital experiences live within their own domain securely and on-brand, without requiring developer effort. Instead of using IT teams for weeks or months of development, marketers can create experiences in hours, saving time, costs, and labor. Folloze's data layer provides deep insights into buyer behavior and intent, with a personalization engine that delivers unique experiences based on location, industry, and position.

The Challenge

As Folloze's customer base grew, their platform-as-a-service provider could no longer support their complex infrastructure demands. The company needed more control and a scalable infrastructure platform that could support growth without inflating costs, leading to the decision to fully migrate to AWS.

The Solution

DoiT's Cloud Reliability Engineers reviewed Folloze's cloud architecture and executed a two-phase migration to AWS. As an AWS Premier Tier Partner, DoiT secured AWS funding for the migration and implemented automated cost optimization. The migration included moving the primary application first, then Redis, ETL, and QA environments, with only two hours of downtime.

Results

Achieved 25-30% performance increase after migrating to AWS
Completed migration with only 2 hours of downtime across two phases
Secured AWS funding through DoiT's Premier Tier Partnership, dramatically reducing migration expenses
Implemented automated cost optimization for continuous workload cost management
Improved load times by 25% once Redis moves to VPC

As a company, we have high growth in terms of customers, which means we need to serve more and more traffic to serve our customers well. Before, we were limited. But now the limits are practically removed. If our needs grow, we have more people and professional guidance to help us. We're in a good place for our future scale.
Itamar Golan, VP of Research and Development, Folloze

The Migration Challenge

Initially, Folloze didn't need in-house DevOps engineers as their PaaS provider managed servers and maintenance. As their customer base grew and requirements became more demanding, the underlying infrastructure grew complex, requiring sophisticated software and deeper automation. Folloze needed an infrastructure platform supporting growth without inflating costs. To reach the next level of scale, they required more control, leading to the decision to fully migrate to AWS for public cloud infrastructure.

Two-Phase AWS Migration

DoiT's Cloud Reliability Engineers reviewed Folloze's cloud architecture and collaborated with their implementation partner to scale it. The migration delivered in two phases: first moving the primary application onto AWS, then migrating Redis, ETL, and QA environments. With DoiT's expertise, the cutover incurred only two hours of downtime. As an AWS Premier Tier Partner, DoiT helped secure AWS funding for the migration, dramatically reducing Folloze's expenses.

Automated Cost Optimization

After phase one, Folloze adopted DoiT's automated cost optimization to continuously optimize workload costs. With DoiT, Folloze automatically selects optimal compute configurations and scales them to demand, resulting in simplified infrastructure, better performance, and more stable customer experience. For Kubernetes workflows, DoiT helps Folloze use dedicated machines for critical workflows while receiving discounted pricing, avoiding limitations of Spot Instances.

Performance and Security Improvements

Since migrating to AWS and improving provisioning processes, Folloze has seen 25% to 30% performance increase. Moving Redis into the virtual private cloud will improve load times on all sites by 25%. DoiT's support ensured swift, seamless migration with stronger security helping Folloze enforce best practices like requiring VPNs for internal resources. The technology provides integrated Slack messages and consolidated dashboards for accounts, services, and savings.

Scaling for Future Growth

As Folloze moves into a new migration phase and expands to new markets, they have a strong partner in DoiT to scale AWS securely and cost-effectively. Although AWS costs can be higher early in migration, over time right-sizing and regional expansion lower overall costs, with high-usage discounts further reducing spend. The partnership empowers Folloze's customers to do more in B2B marketing with practically unlimited scaling capabilities.

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

When we started working with DoiT, we deployed Flexsave to save time and reduce complexity. We still use it today. But what really stands out is the expert support. Having someone to collaborate with on deep cloud cost topics, someone who really understands the nuances, is incredibly valuable.

Jesper Terkelsen, CTO at Monta

DoiT's Cloud Accelerator turned our AI idea into a shipped product, saving at least three months of development and delivering reliable, explainable insights our customers trust.

Scott Desgrosseilliers, CEO and co-founder, Wicked Reports
