How CodeRoad unlocked $540K in annual savings via GCP rightsizing
Rapid expansion was working, but the cloud infrastructure was inheriting years of oversized resources and rising costs. The team needed to fuel a national logistics platform, but the growth tax on their GCP environment was becoming unsustainable. CodeRoad came in to optimize the engine, not just pay the fuel bill.
Why a fast-growing Logistics/SaaS company partnered with CodeRoad:
Configuration drift hides waste
Oversized compute and massive unused SQL storage were draining the budget while elevating reliability risks. The team was focused on shipping features, while the underlying environment was quietly becoming inefficient configuration debt.
What CodeRoad focused on:
Precise rightsizing, not broad cuts
CodeRoad executed a comprehensive analysis of GKE clusters and Cloud SQL storage, downsizing an 8TB footprint to 150GB without sacrificing a single millisecond of performance
How we accelerated financial recovery and infrastructure durability:
Financial recovery and a durable foundation
Monthly development spend dropped by 65%, recovering 1.5x of the annual DevOps budget. The cloud foundation was finally engineered for the durability and financial efficiency required for North American expansion.
