Summary

Navi Capital, a Brazilian hedge fund, leverages HashiCorp Nomad to streamline data-driven investment decisions by creating a containerized environment that automates the most business-critical workflows and unifies infrastructure for maximum resource utilization, efficiency, and cost management. The company built a robust data pipeline using microservices deployed in a cluster as the control plane, exposing APIs that can be used by analysts to pull reports or trigger data processing batch jobs. By adopting Nomad, Navi Capital reduced its cloud resource costs by up to 70% by utilizing Spot Instances, and freed up time for its development team to focus on high-impact tasks, ultimately improving its investment process and delivering greater results to investors.
