Introduction

If you’ve ever struggled to articulate the business value of smarter autoscaling, you’re not alone. Teams evaluating Kedify often understand the technical benefits — but making the case to finance, engineering leadership, or procurement is another story.

What if you could estimate the ROI of autoscaling before writing a single line of YAML?

That’s exactly what the Kedify ROI Calculator delivers. In just a few clicks, this interactive tool helps you forecast your potential savings and efficiency gains — grounded in your actual infrastructure, not guesswork.

Why We Built It

At Kedify, we work with platform and infrastructure leaders who know the pain of underused nodes, cold starts, and manual scaling logic. But internally, they often face tough questions:

• “Why are we spending $100K/year on idle compute?”
• “Can we reduce incident hours related to scaling?”
• “What’s the real value of scale-to-zero?”

The ROI Calculator transforms these abstract frustrations into a concrete, executive-ready report. By combining inputs you already know — like cluster size, workload type, and monitoring stack — it paints a clear picture of how Kedify’s autoscaling layer could pay off.

How the Calculator Works

You’ll be prompted to enter a few key details:

• Annual cloud spend
• Number of clusters and nodes
• Average node size (CPU)
• Types of workloads (e.g. HTTP, Kafka, GPU)
• Monitoring tools (Prometheus, Datadog, etc.)
• Desired scaling features (e.g. scale-to-zero)
• Common challenges (e.g. overprovisioning, downtime)

With this information, Kedify calculates your projected annual return in three core areas:

• 💸 Cloud Cost Reduction
• ⏱ Engineering Time Saved
• 🔧 SLA & Reliability Improvements

The output includes not only a numeric estimate but also a narrative explanation — showing how those savings are achieved through reduced idle compute, faster cluster rollouts, and smarter scaling.

Built for Champions, Not Just Checkwriters

We know that the person exploring Kedify is often not the one signing the check. That’s why the ROI Calculator report is designed to:

• Be easy to screenshot or share internally
• Work in Slack, Notion, or a presentation deck
• Speak business language, not just Kubernetes
• Reflect your specific inputs, not a generic average
• Be credible, with assumptions based on real Kedify customers

Whether you’re justifying budget with finance or making a pitch to your VP of Engineering, the calculator gives you a starting point — and language your stakeholders understand.

Real-World Results

The ROI model is based on real outcomes from Kedify customers, including:

• 30–50% compute savings by eliminating overprovisioning
• 3x faster cluster onboarding through automation and simplicity
• Reduced cold-start delays and SLA violations, improving user experience

We’ve modeled these patterns into the calculator to ensure your estimate isn’t just theoretical — it reflects what’s actually possible.
