About Imagen AI
Imagen AI is a startup providing personalized AI-powered photo editing software, established in 2020. It enables professional photographers and videographers to achieve a smarter post-production workflow.
The Imagen photo editor automates repetitive tasks like photo and video color correction, culling, and editing while learning your unique style. This results in faster workflows, saving you hours on manual edits.
The Challenge
Imagen AI was scaling fast, driven by a growing community of professional photographers using its AI-powered editing software. But, with growth came significant challenges and pressures on existing processes.
Professional photographers often take and upload thousands of photos per shoot. As more users adopted Imagen AI’s software, the volume of files that needed to be processed increased dramatically, putting processed on compute and storage requirements.
Imagen AI also lacked the granular visibility to understand cloud spend. It wanted to be able to optimize its ability to process files while also optimizing cloud cost observability and spend.
The Solution
As an AWS Premier Tier Partner, Automat-it was able to unlock exclusive Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) pricing for Imagen AI, helping to reduce storage costs for the growing datasets.
Automat-it’s DevOps and FinOps experts were able to recommend and implement this solution to enable cost-effective storage classes, and better organized and analyzed data without limiting performance.
Automat-it’s FinOps team was also brought on to identify cost-saving opportunities in the short and long-term for the startup and implement ongoing cost governance processes. This would enable Imagen AI’s in-house team to focus on delivering innovation and efficient software for their customers.
The Results
Working with Automat-it, Imagen AI has been able to:
- Save tens of thousands of dollars on Amazon S3 storage costs alone
- Accelerate time to market, thanks to improved infrastructure agility and cloud cost observability
- Adopt and experiment with new technologies more confidently, with cloud costs under control
One example of cost-saving was when Imagen AI noticed sudden, large spikes in its CDN’s. The Automat-it team was able to identify the issue, solve the problem, and remedy it for future use cases.
