Reinvent your cloud strategy: Optimize performance & cut cloud costs
summary
Snap quantifies the outcome of adding Granulate to EKS and EMR: an agent deployed across 350,000 vCores profiles for 7–10 days, activates within a few weeks, and yields an average 13% cost reduction across 32 clusters with peak improvements of 35% CPU reduction and elimination of roughly one in seven cores. Granulate automates runtime tweaks (thread pools, GC, JIT) and orchestrational moves (dynamic pod right‑sizing, executor/node scheduling) that replace slow manual PGO and rightsizing work and integrate with Switchboard and CI/CD.
