The Client
NetSecure Life is a Florida-based digital insurance platform that helps users compare and purchase Medicare plans online. Founded in 2016, the company also supports insurers in reaching low-income households across the U.S.
The Challenge
NetSecure Life’s AWS bill had reached nearly $52,000 per month, driven by underused resources and outdated backups. Key challenges included:
- EC2 and RDS instances with low CPU and memory usage
- 3 TB of old backup data led to increased storage costs
- Difficulty identifying ownership of unused servers
- Paying for a high-tier AWS support plan with limited use
- Reducing costs without affecting platform performance
The Solution
We worked closely with their team to streamline AWS usage without disrupting operations. Our approach included:
- Identifying and removing unused EC2 instances
- Rightsizing EC2 and RDS instances based on actual usage
- Using reserved instances for steady workloads
- Deleting unnecessary backups and updating retention settings
- Downgrading to a basic AWS support plan
- Setting up ongoing monitoring with AWS Lambda and Cost APIs
Results
The engagement delivered substantial cost savings and operational improvements:
- $15,000–$18,000 in monthly savings, totaling over $200,000 annually
- More efficient use of AWS resources with less waste
- Cleaner infrastructure and reduced storage costs
- Platform performance remained stable throughout
- Improved budgeting with more predictable cloud spend
- Lower resource usage contributing to sustainability goals
