20% cloud cost optimization in 2-weeks & standardized deployment

TransCloud analyzed and optimized an open-source issue tracking system being used by the growing team of developers and testers in the organization.

The Company builds India’s first neo bank for salaried millennials called Fi money. Fi Money is a full-stack mobile-first neo bank with features like an intelligent assistant #AskFi, Stash, FiT rules and more. The app comes with a smart, zero balance savings account and features that help you get better with your money.

The company uses Google’s open-source issue tracking system called Monorail for its product across teams. The issue tracking system is deployed in Google Cloud. While the system was installed and configured for use, it was not optimized for the cost. Given the product team’s focus is on their business deliverables and roadmap, they worked with Transcloud as their extended team to assess and optimize the system.
