Tyler Technologies, a leading U.S. software provider for the public sector, faced escalating cloud costs due to the continuous operation of non-production environments needed for their Enterprise Permitting & Licensing solution. Initially using AWS CloudWatch to manage these costs, the company realized they needed a more strategic approach to optimize their shared cloud infrastructure. By adopting Harness Cloud AutoStopping™, Tyler Technologies was able to efficiently control idle cloud resources, initially saving $15K to $20K monthly and eventually surpassing $100K in savings. To maximize these savings, they reorganized their infrastructure by client time zone, ensuring that non-production environments were idle simultaneously to allow for more effective use of Cloud AutoStopping. This reorganization, along with insights into client activity levels, has enabled further optimization, allowing environments to be powered down for extended periods. The company's journey highlights the significant impact that thoughtful cloud architecture and management can have on cost savings, and they continue to explore additional features like Cloud Asset Governance for further efficiency.
