Cloud computing services platform AWS features in its testimonials and case studies section the Dingus business benchmark and how it impacts “the use of Amazon EC2 spot instances to run and scale infrastructure cost-effectively”.

Jordi Cladera (Chief of Innovation Officer at Etoolinnovation, the Hitt Group company that develops the Dingus technology) explains that “we maintain more than 20,000 simultaneous active connections for the exchange of information between our customers and their sales channels. All this means handling a daily processing load of several billion calculations, generated by more than 200 million price and booking update transactions, which translates into handling more than 20,000 bookings per day. By using spot* instances in Auto Scaling clusters that process these calculations, we have achieved sustained savings of close to 70%, with the same level of performance and efficiency as we had before with on-demand instances”.

*Spot instances are unused instances, available at a lower price than the on-demand price. However, these instances can be reclaimed at any time, so the infrastructure has to be prepared accordingly. The main advantage is a saving of up to 90% of the on-demand price.
