How does Sedai help AWS Customers?
AWS EKS, ECS & Lambda customers use Sedai's ML-based autonomous cloud platform to optimize for availability, performance and cost at a fraction of the manual effort needed when using today's legacy operations tools. When customers roll out autonomous cloud, I liken the impact to instantly adding 10 SREs that work 24/7 to help optimize your cloud.
Customers typically see a 10x ROI driven by the combination of significant application improvements combined with the minimal implementation and management effort as a result of the autonomous nature of the system.
The video below from AWS customer fabric describes how fabric used Sedai to achieve a 48% latency reduction while improving the customer/SRE ratio by 6.7x.
For Kubernetes users, Sedai's autonomous cloud platform helps AWS customers realize the promise of Kubernetes by overcoming the complexity of manual configuration which results in many Kubernetes users underachieving on performance, cost, and availability. By using an ML-based autonomous cloud platform that optimizes applications, nodes and purchase levers, Sedai can help Kubernetes users optimize their deployments with a fraction of the effort of traditional approaches.
For serverless users, Sedai helps AWS Lambda users optimize performance & cost by finding the ideal memory configuration, identify & resolving OOM & other availability issues and solving cold start issues with autonomous concurrency.
