One company was paying $35k/ month in just ec2 hardware costs to run an ELK cluster, and we were able to slash that substantially, while still making money. Not to mention the savings in core engineering time.

Just goes to show you, people have no idea how muych their shit costs. And/or don't value their own time.

That seems like a lot of money. Can you give a really high level breakdown of where it was spent?
