Acoustic saves $178K in engineering costs with WunderGraph Cosmo

Acoustic, a marketing and customer engagement platform, transformed its GraphQL gateway by adopting WunderGraph's Cosmo, resulting in significant improvements in efficiency and cost savings. Previously reliant on a complex Rust-based system that involved lengthy build times, schema conflicts, and costly engineering efforts, Acoustic faced challenges with maintaining their system, including the need for custom workarounds and difficulties in rollbacks and schema management. By transitioning to Cosmo, they streamlined their operations with a Go-based router, visual schema tools, and built-in features like rate limiting and endpoint isolation, which eliminated the need for Rust plugins and manual CI rollbacks. This move not only saved Acoustic an estimated $178,000 in engineering costs but also enhanced their developer experience, enabling faster deployment, clearer schema management, and the ability to create customer-specific APIs without affecting public endpoints. The partnership with WunderGraph provided responsive support and contributed to shaping Acoustic's new, more efficient system.
