The challenge
Where they started
Northwind Labs, a fast-growing analytics SaaS, was running on aging infrastructure with unpredictable performance and a cloud bill climbing faster than revenue. Their small platform team was firefighting incidents instead of building features, and a looming contract renewal forced a decision.
Our approach
- Ran a two-week discovery to map workloads, dependencies, and cost drivers
- Designed a Google Cloud landing zone with clear guardrails and tagging
- Migrated in phased waves using a replatform-first strategy, refactoring the hottest services to managed and serverless options
- Implemented FinOps practices: rightsizing, committed-use discounts, and budget anomaly alerts
- Stood up CI/CD and IaC so the team could ship safely without us in the loop
Synabix didn't just move us to the cloud — they left our team better at running it. The savings paid for the project in months.
