A fast-growing Web3 company powering decentralized apps needed to control volatile cloud costs driven by unpredictable transaction spikes and always-on blockchain nodes. Traditional multi-year commitments were too rigid, risking overspend and limiting agility. North.Cloud deployed a commitment-flexible optimization strategy designed for high-volatility workloads: - Unlocked 3-year pricing with no long-term lock-in - Matched commitments dynamically to fluctuating demand - Delivered real-time spend visibility by chain, node, and workload - Enabled instant scale-up/scale-down without penalties Results in weeks: - Immediate 10% savings across the entire monthly cloud footprint - Stabilized cost per transaction despite spikes - Avoided $1M+ in potential locked-in spend - Freed engineering to focus on protocol performance
