RELATIVITY REDUCED KUBERNETES CLOUD COSTS BY MILLIONS IN 5 MONTHS

Learn how Relativity democratized cloud cost data across engineering and product
teams with Harness Cloud Cost Management.

ABOUT RELATIVITY

Relativity makes software to help users organize data, discover the truth, and
act on it. The platform is used by thousands of organizations around the world
to manage large volumes of data and quickly identify key issues during
litigation, internal investigations, and compliance operations with
RelativityOne and its newest offering Relativity Trace. Relativity has over
180,000 users in 40+ countries from organizations including the U.S. Department
of Justice, more than 70 Fortune 100 companies, and 198 of the Am Law 200.


ACCELERATING DEPLOYMENT VELOCITY & REDUCING CLOUD SPEND

Earlier this year Relativity kicked off an internal initiative to increase
deployment velocity and reduce cloud spend as part of their cloud migration to
Windows Azure.

Previously, finance initiated cost savings exercises directly with product
managers and engineering teams. Cloud costs were ‘bubbled’ together into a
high-level aggregate view across teams, which made it challenging for an
individual product or engineering team to understand their costs.

This lack of visibility into cloud costs by application or microservice meant
that engineers struggled to identify the real utilization and idle cost of the
resources they were requesting in the Azure cloud, specifically relating to
their Kubernetes clusters.

“We were seeing over-provisioning of 30-40% of our microservices and Kubernetes
Clusters,” said Corey Wagehoft, Lead Systems Engineer at Relativity.


COST REDUCTIONS IN THE FIRST MONTH

Relativity participated in the early beta of Harness Cloud Cost Management — a
new cloud cost management solution that empowers engineering and DevOps teams
with unique cloud cost visibility so they can proactively manage cloud spend.

“During the first 30 days of implementation, we saw a noticeable change in our
cloud spend across our engineering teams, with six-figure annualized savings,”
said Shelby Lewin, Technical Product Manager at Relativity. “Not only did we
save cost, but our engineering team also sped up two months of work on our
roadmap for RelativityOne.

> - Shelby Lewin | Technical Product Manager | Relativity

With Harness Cloud Cost Management, Relativity was able to reduce cloud spend by
30-40% for a new microservice in 30-days which represents a 6-figure annualized
savings.

The biggest win for Corey and Shelby was unpacking the true cost of their SaaS
tenants and customers running on the Relativity platform.


5 MONTHS LATER…

Fast forward five months, and Relativity has saved millions using Harness Cloud
Cost Management.

Product and engineering teams at Relativity are now proactive with self-service
access to their own cloud spend for application workloads so they can take
ownership of cloud costs.

With Harness Cloud Cost Management, teams can view cloud cost by:

 * Application
 * Microservice
 * Environment
 * Cluster
 * Namespace
 * Workload
 * Node and Pod

In addition, teams can set pro-active budgets and alerting associated with their
application, microservice and clusters.

By analyzing the low utilization of Kubernetes pods running on cloud
infrastructure (nodes), Relativity was able to double the density of Kubernetes
pods per node from 40 to 100, and in some large nodes, 100 pods per node. The
cost impact of this was a reduction in Kubernetes costs of 40% per day.

> “Any engineering team that’s deploying Kubernetes and not proactively thinking
> about managing cost will fail to unlock its true benefits”. - Corey Wagehoft,
> Lead Systems Engineer, Relativity

Finally, with Harness Cloud Cost Management, Relativity was able to defer 1 FTE
costs associated with building an in-house cost management tool for product and
engineering teams.
