About.
Energyworx is a Dutch scale-up that produces big data platforms for customers in the energy sector.
Energyworx’s platform is used to automate business processes like billing and predicting energy usage. Energyworx approached Nordcloud to help them migrate their data processing pipelines to Kubernetes, and achieve cost savings across their workloads.
Objectives.

Cost optimisation

Auto-scaling

Dependency management

Multicloud enablement
Results.
Cost Savings
Migrated data pipelines to Kubernetes, achieving over 50% savings
Multicloud flexibility
Enabled deployment across other hyperscaler environments
Future-proof
Cost saving potential in moving more services to Kubernetes
Delivery transformation
Addressed data duplication, autoscaling services and failure handling

Energyworx had already built a large, distributed platform on Google Cloud, mostly using managed services such as App Engine, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Bigtable and Big Query. The problem they were experiencing was that as the load on their platform rose, so did the costs. That’s where Nordcloud were brought in to help.
