Kubernetes migration cut infra spend by 44%
Replatformed a monolithic logistics SaaS to a Kubernetes-based microservice architecture — cutting infra spend and 10x-ing release velocity.
Monolith Logistics is a SaaS provider serving 240+ logistics operators in India and Southeast Asia. Their backend was a single Ruby monolith on EC2, with a 4-hour release cycle, 99.4% uptime, and an infrastructure bill that was climbing 40% YoY. New features routinely shipped two months late.
We did not start with the Kubernetes migration. We started with the boring stuff — observability, CI/CD, and a service-by-service decomposition plan. Only then did we begin extracting domains into containerised microservices and migrating onto a managed Kubernetes platform.
- 01A migration roadmap that decomposed the monolith into 12 services over 9 months
- 02A Kubernetes platform on AWS EKS with auto-scaling and spot-instance node pools
- 03CI/CD pipelines with blue-green deployments per service
- 04Observability stack (Datadog) with SLOs and on-call rotation
- 05A platform engineering layer (golden paths) so product engineers self-serve
- 06Cost guardrails and weekly waste audits
Infrastructure spend fell by 44%. Release frequency went from biweekly to 10x daily. Uptime moved from 99.4% to 99.98%. The platform team now ships new services in days, not months.
“Verity’s SRE and platform team is the operational backbone we always wanted but never knew how to build.”
Aditya Bose, Head of Platform Monolith

No pitch deck. No pressure. Just an honest conversation with a senior strategist about where you are and where you could be.
