" ToyStack has significantly simplified our cloud deployment process, allowing us to smoothly deploy both frontend and backend applications without the typical complexities of infrastructure setup. This has also helped us move away from managing multiple cloud services. The team is incredibly responsive, providing good support whenever we need it. "

Introduction
BudgetICU, with a growing network of 10+ facilities, BudgetICU has successfully expanded its reach across regions. However, this rapid growth led to escalating infrastructure challenges.
Their cloud costs got pushed to over $600 per month, caused by over-provisioned servers, manual scaling, and unused resources. This inefficiency diverted resources away from their core mission: delivering affordable, high-quality ICU care.
By migrating to Toystack, BudgetICU achieved:
A dramatic reduction in costs—from $600+ to $40/month.
Costs dropped to $40 initially and scaled predictably to $120/month as traffic grew.
Automated scaling and instant deployments.
This case study explores how Toystack helped BudgetICU optimise costs and performance, enabling them to focus on life-saving healthcare.
What the problem was ?
1. Over-provisioned servers: Instances with 4 CPUs and 8GB RAM were often only 30-40% utilized, leading to inflated costs.
2. Manual scaling: Scaling workloads manually required 1-2 hours per instance, delaying response times during traffic spikes.
3. Unused resources: Over 25% of allocated storage and inactive server instances went unused but still incurred costs, driving inefficiency.
Despite efforts to optimize workloads, monthly cloud bills remained over $600. This impacted their ability to innovate and expand services to underserved areas, slowing down their mission to provide accessible ICU care.
BudgetICU needed a solution to:
Lower infrastructure costs
Simplify deployments without additional DevOps burden
Enable on-demand scaling aligned with real-time usage
Improve overall team efficiency and focus

How We Helped
Toystack provided a streamlined, automated, and cost-effective solution tailored to BudgetICU’s requirements.
Steps Taken:
Seamless Migration: BudgetICU’s GitHub repositories were integrated with Toystack, enabling instant application deployment without any disruptions.
Right-Sized Resources: Toystack allocated precise CPU, RAM, and storage resources based on actual usage, reducing waste caused by over-provisioning.
Automatic Scaling: Infrastructure resources scaled dynamically, ensuring optimal performance during peak and idle traffic periods.
Key Toystack Features Implemented:
Right-sizing of CPU/RAM to ensure applications used only what was necessary
Auto-scaling configurations to adjust resources automatically for traffic spikes
Automated builds and deployments directly from GitHub repositories
Storage optimization with ephemeral storage and the elimination of unused volumes
The migration took just a few hours and caused almost no disruption to BudgetICU's daily operations. Toystack’s support team worked alongside BudgetICU to ensure a smooth transition.
By the end of the migration, BudgetICU saw a smooth transition, better use of resources, and immediate cost savings.

ToyStack's Impact
Quantified Benefits:
Optimized Resource Usage: Applications ran efficiently on smaller instances, e.g., 1 CPU and 3GB RAM, replacing oversized and underutilized servers.
Improved Scaling Efficiency: Toystack’s auto-scaling feature ensured the infrastructure handled peak traffic seamlessly while scaling down during idle periods.
Faster Deployments: Deployment times were reduced from hours to minutes through automation, improving team productivity.
Storage Optimization: Unused storage volumes were eliminated, and ephemeral storage was utilized to minimize waste without compromising performance.
ROI: Financial and Operational Gains
Initial Cost Reduction: From $600+ to $40/month by eliminating unused resources and right-sizing deployments.
Stable Growth: Costs stabilized at $120/month as traffic grew, scaling predictably with demand.
With Toystack’s Neo-cloud platform, BudgetICU’s team no longer spends hours on manual scaling or deployments. This freed up valuable time to:
Focus on improving patient care.
Roll out updates faster.
Expand services to underserved regions.
