I used Stacklet during my experience at Xgrid, particularly in the last year when we were optimizing cloud costs for SleepIQ Tech for different clients. One thing we were proud of was the Cloud Custodian configurations, which were YAML-provided manifest files where we could provision the infrastructure and then access custom pre-built dashboards that provided governance as a code. This was really helpful. We used Stacklet for cloud optimizations and were able to save around 40,000 US dollars per annum. We identified exactly where we were burning costs. After identification, we took remediation steps to cut down the extra costs due to overcommitted resources, underutilized resources, and identifying EIPs. We also re-architected some of the architectural components and moved to serverless. This is how we achieved around 40,000 US dollars per annum in savings. Stacklet's dashboards helped us identify cost-saving opportunities. They were really helpful because Stacklet uses Cloud Custodian under the hood, and Cloud Custodian retrieves all of those metrics from the different dashboards of services from AWS cloud, since we were using AWS. This enabled us to get everything in a centralized dashboard, which provided out-of-the-box policy packs and visual reporting for all of our different AWS accounts. Recently, Stacklet has introduced remediation and workflows that perform intelligent, multi-step workflows with native integrations to Jira, ServiceNow, and Slack. At that time, we used these with some custom wrappers, but now they are available within Stacklet.
