Why it works

The case study earns credibility by anchoring to a specific crisis moment, a live sales event that nearly broke the platform, which gives the migration a clear before-state and a concrete trigger. Multiple distinct metrics appear: 90% operational cost reduction, 65% server cost reduction over two years, and a live cost example of $5,000 to under $500 per month for one service. The story is a close call between Efficiency (costs down sharply) and Breakthrough (traffic scale up 10x), but the headline and section headings lead with cost savings, so Efficiency takes primary.

Steal this

The concrete before-and-after cost example for a single service ($5,000/month to under $500) makes the abstract 90% reduction tangible and verifiable. Use a specific line-item cost comparison, not just a percentage, to give readers something they can benchmark against.
