How to design and architect a cost-effective solution in AWS

The Clicktale Experience Cloud (CEC) is a SaaS solution hosted on AWS which captures billions of millisecond-level behaviors and gestures every day from the websites and apps of Clicktale customers. The scale of the solution creates the potential for significant associated hosting costs. To ensure Clicktale could offer competitive pricing, it was crucial to design an approach that leveraged AWS capabilities in a cost-effective manner. This session will describe the practical approaches which were applied at Clicktale in order to optimize the hosting cost without sacrificing value or performance.
