Achieving unparalleled elasticity on AWS at the lowest cost
summary
Demo shows Densify analyzing CloudWatch/Prometheus metrics and returning concrete instance-size changes that Terraform applies automatically; four EC2s are adjusted live (example: m4.large → c5.xlarge, m4.xlarge → r5a) and the workflow writes approvals to Parameter Store and Slack and runs through Sentinel gates before terraform apply. Claims include one line of code to look up sizing via a Terraform module, continuous optimization via nightly re-evaluations, and automated, auditable CI/CD changes that execute successfully in the demo.
