Sliide cuts cloud spend 15% across AWS and GCP
DoiT Cloud Intelligence unified multicloud visibility and Flexsave for Compute drove over $200,000 in automated savings with no engineering work.
Meet Sliide
Founded in 2013, Sliide is a suite of mobile products and services that help companies get more from the mobile economy. Sliide helps mobile operators and OEMs build, integrate and monetize rich content experiences, anywhere on the device. Its suite of mobile apps empower millions of users to unlock their essential device, and enable mobile carriers, handset manufacturers and app developers to engage, retain and maximize the value of their users. Sliide seamlessly connects carriers and customers by building the next generation of carrier experiences via highly personalized, compelling content through a delightful on-device experience that engages users and drives strategic value for partners. Covering over 50% of the new Android devices, they have become the default partner for Telcos in the US for providing on-device news and content experience.
The Challenge
Sliide needed better visibility of costs across AWS and Google Cloud infrastructure as the company scaled from hundreds to millions of devices. The multicloud approach created operational complexity, making governed cost management challenging. Limited internal DevOps resources relied on manual monitoring and ad hoc optimizations, slowing test-and-validate cycles for engineering teams.
The Solution
DoiT provided Sliide with DoiT Cloud Intelligence for unified, real-time visibility across AWS and Google Cloud. The solution included real-time monitoring, scheduled reporting, and Real-Time Anomaly Detection. DoiT implemented Flexsave for Compute for automated savings and provided consultative support with on-demand expert guidance for technical validation and strategy reviews.
Results
- Achieved 15% cost reduction over two years with improved budget predictability
- Saved over $200,000 through Flexsave for Compute without any engineering work
- Completed seamless onboarding in 10-15 minutes with immediate access to insights
- Gained unified visibility across AWS and Google Cloud for informed decision-making
- Reclaimed engineering hours by offloading cloud management to DoiT experts
With DoiT, you can quickly visualize things. You can see all of the information on dashboards and reports very easily, AWS and Google Cloud accounts work seamlessly. I love every single DoiT engineer who's helped us resolve issues or investigate potential solutions. When you open up a ticket, the response rates are insane. I hear back the same day.
Jay Rawal, Head of DevOps at Sliide
What's Next?
Jay underlines how DoiT's support gives Sliide additional leverage to negotiate and close new commercial deals with major cloud providers, supporting confident scale. "With DoiT, I don't have to chase down account managers for Google Cloud or AWS, even though we have great relationships with them, things are just simpler with a single account manager on the DoiT side. If you're a startup like us, whose spend is not as large as other medium to large organizations, but when it comes to commercial deals, it's all about who you know and how big of a fish you are. With DoiT on our side, suddenly there's a sweet deal with multi-year contracts." Ultimately, Sliide's DevOps team has reclaimed engineering hours by offloading cloud management labor to DoiT's experts, focusing on higher-priority tasks like product research and development.

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.
