-35% Load Balancer costs
Load Balancer cost reduction with APISIX
Consolidated TCP and HTTP service exposure behind an APISIX API gateway, removing the need for one NLB or ALB per service. What looked like a minor networking detail became a FinOps initiative: fewer load balancers, lower recurring network costs and a single point for routing, authentication and observability. Result: a 35% reduction in Load Balancer costs.
Challenge
Every exposed TCP or HTTP service required its own NLB or ALB, adding recurring network cost.
Solution
- Service exposure consolidated behind an APISIX API gateway
- A single point for routing, authentication and observability
Results
- 35% lower Load Balancer costs
