Why it works

The story turns on a single constraint: fragmented, capacity-limited infrastructure that buckled under growing data volumes and capped the searchable history at three months. Removing that constraint through a Kubernetes migration and tiered storage released step-change improvements across detection speed, incident coverage, and cost. A Leap archetype was considered because Smart DCC was not in crisis, but the self-managed EC2 setup was actively failing under load, which makes the Bottleneck test cleaner. The metrics are specific and stacked, giving economic buyers and technical evaluators both what they need. [pipeline] Model returned unknown industry 'Energy and Utilities'; left blank.
