Overview

EzLogz is a pioneering technology company transforming the transportation and logistics industry. Founded in 2016, their flagship ELD (Electronic Logging Device) product simplifies compliance and streamlines fleet management for truck drivers, fleet managers, and logistics companies across the US.

With features like automatic Hours of Service (HOS) recording, real-time GPS tracking, and their AI-powered EzChatAI assistant, EzLogz had grown rapidly, but their infrastructure was struggling to keep pace.

The Challenge

As EzLogz experienced rapid growth, their platform's response times slowed and short outages began occurring during periods of high demand. The initial approach of adding more compute resources proved unsustainable. Costs were climbing while the underlying architecture issues went unresolved.

EzLogz needed a partner who could reduce costs without sacrificing performance and reliability. Their goals were clear: enhance scalability, optimize resources, and streamline infrastructure to handle peak demand seamlessly.

Our Solution

Cloudacio implemented a three-stage transformation:

Phase 1: Immediate Optimization

Rightsized resources, optimized slow database queries, and fine-tuned the web stack for maximum performance. These changes had an immediate and significant impact on cost reduction.

Phase 2: Application Modernization

Transitioned from legacy EC2 autoscaling instances to serverless containers using ECS Fargate. This three-month modernization enabled precise sizing of every application and eliminated over-provisioning.

Phase 3: Continuous Optimization

Implemented monitoring, cost alerting, and automated scaling policies to ensure the gains were sustained and the infrastructure continued to improve over time.
