Case Study
How Beamloop Cut Infrastructure Costs by 40% with Statusly

Beamloop is the project management platform beloved by over 5,000 architects and designers worldwide. As their user base doubled in six months, their infrastructure needs changed overnight. Here is how they switched from a chaotic AWS setup to a predictable, smile-inducing cloud home.
Who is Beamloop?
Beamloop builds digital tools that make architecture studios run smoother. From blueprint management to client collaboration, their platform handles sensitive project data for firms ranging from small boutique studios to massive international firms. Speed, security, and reliability aren't just buzzwords for them—they are business-critical.
The Problem
Unpredictable bills and zero visibility
"We were essentially flying blind," says Sarah Jenkins, CTO. "We had services spinning up in the background, autoscaling groups fighting each other, and bills that arrived every month like a surprise punch in the gut."
The team knew their codebase was solid, but their infrastructure was a mess. They were using multiple AWS accounts, loose security groups, and had no real-time monitoring. If a service went down, they wouldn't know until a user complained. Worse, they had no idea where their money was going.
They needed a solution that offered transparency, simplicity, and—most importantly—predictability.
Why Statusly
A platform built for clarity
Real-Time Visibility
A unified dashboard showed CPU, memory, and network usage for every container. The team could see exactly what was consuming resources before it became a problem.
Managed Infrastructure
Statusly handles the heavy lifting—auto-scaling, backups, and SSL certificates—so Beamloop could focus on shipping new features for their architecture clients.
The Migration
Zero downtime in just 3 days
We didn't want downtime. We didn't get it.
Sarah and her team used Statusly's blue-green deployment strategy. On Day 1, they spun up their new Statusly environment and mirrored their production traffic. On Day 2, they ran smoke tests and verified all metrics. On Day 3, they flipped the DNS record.
Statusly's one-click deploy feature meant they could roll back instantly if anything looked off. The process was painless, and their users didn't notice a single hiccup.

"Before Statusly, every month was a guessing game with our AWS bills. Now, we have a predictable cost that fits our budget perfectly. But more importantly, the team is finally sleeping soundly at night knowing our infrastructure is in good hands."
