The Challenge

Escalating cloud costs across complex, underutilized pre-production environments created a strategic need for infrastructure optimization. Impractical manual shutdown processes made it difficult to efficiently manage and restart numerous interconnected services during inactive hours. The lack of a flexible cost-saving mechanism threatened to disrupt critical late-night or weekend development workflows.

The Solution

Nineleaps engineered an automated DevOps strategy using custom serverless functions to scale Kubernetes nodes to zero during inactivity. Intelligent scheduling gracefully spins down clusters nightly and over weekends, automatically restoring them for business hours. A seamless, self-serve override mechanism ensures that developers can maintain specific environments for uninterrupted off-hours work.
