About the Client
A UK-based FinTech providing CRM services for mortgage, lending and banking providers encountered a rare database compatibility issue after migrating to Amazon Web Services (AWS). It needed to resolve this matter quickly to keep cloud cost management under control.
Our managed services team enabled the client to bring actual cloud spend back in line with what was originally forecast. Next, they took additional steps to bring further cost, performance and security benefits.
- Using Amazon RDS for MariaDB (instead of Amazon Aurora) improved query management and cut costs.
