What We’ve Been Building: Scaling Platforms, Cutting Costs And Prepping for Growth

At DasMeta, our week doesn’t start with standups or task boards — it starts with the real challenges our customers face. A gaming platform needs to expand fast without breaking their analytics engine. A growing energy analytics platform wants to understand where their AWS bill is bleeding money. An insurance tech team needs their dashboards to be customer-ready — yesterday.

Behind all of this is our mission: make infrastructure invisible, efficient, and ready for scale.

Here’s a glimpse into what we’ve been working on lately.

🚀 A Gaming Platform Expands: Setting the Stage for Scale

When one of our gaming clients came to us with plans to expand into new territories, our job was to make sure their backend could handle the growth without performance hiccups.

We deployed a multi-cluster ClickHouse setup to power fast analytics at scale. Alongside that, ETCD was introduced to keep cluster state reliable across environments, and Terraform Cloud workflows were set up to turn complex infrastructure changes into simple, versioned rollouts.

The core issues on Hetzner weren’t about software quality or dev practices. They were infrastructural:

To complete the picture, we made observability seamless by integrating Prometheus through ADOT, helping developers keep an eye on metrics without lifting a finger.

Why it matters: This setup isn’t just “infra” — it’s the difference between being able to launch a new game or feature this month vs. next quarter.

💸 Cost Optimization for Energy Analytics — Where’s the Money Going?

One of our energy analytics customers had a simple question: Why is our AWS VPN bill suddenly so high?

We dug in, traced usage patterns, and uncovered some under-the-radar configurations that were draining budget through AWS’s Client-VPN-Endpoint. Beyond that, we tackled broader optimizations:

Cached Docker layers in CI to slash build times
Rolled out autoscaling for internal messaging systems
Migrated key workloads to Kubernetes using modular Helm charts
Implemented OpenTelemetry (ADOT) for better system-wide insights

What they gained: A leaner cloud bill, shorter deployment cycles, and infrastructure that grows only when needed — not by accident.

🧱 Infrastructure as Code — From Hours to Minutes

Every cloud team hits this moment: too many custom scripts, too much snowflake infra, too many hours wasted repeating what you’ve already done.

To break the cycle, we created Terraform Cloud blueprints for standardized AWS setups — including Route53 records, Ingress rules, SSL, CDN configs, and even S3 buckets via IaC.

This wasn’t just housekeeping. For teams across industries — from insurance to analytics to gaming — this means:

Faster provisioning of new environments
Less room for mistakes
More time to focus on features, not config files

In their words: “It’s like someone hit a ‘Create infra’ button and it just worked.”

🏗️ Kubernetes as the Foundation — From Analytics to Real Estate

We love Kubernetes. Not because it’s trendy — but because it delivers when platforms are growing fast.

This week alone, we:

Moved an entire analytics engine into Kubernetes, managing tenants via Helm
Deployed a public-facing Superset dashboard stack with secure, scalable load balancing
Created per-client deployment pipelines for data-heavy platforms

One real estate customer needed a zero-downtime upgrade. We rolled out a blue-green EKS cluster migration to production, fully automated and testable.

For an insurance platform, we completed a full Helm migration of their production workloads — and explored options for integrating their MySQL data with PowerBI and Superset for stakeholder reporting.

Bottom line: Whether you’re visualizing power grid performance or real estate KPIs — we make sure the data flows, the apps run, and the infra holds.

🎓 Supporting Education Platforms — Government-Grade Stability

Educational platforms carry an extra weight: compliance, consistency, and uptime.

This week, we:

Delivered the latest app versions into a government-backed educational setup
Ensured smooth operation across on-premise infrastructure
Supported full maintenance automation pipelines with version control and rollback

It’s not just about deploying code — it’s about creating peace of mind in high-stakes environments.

Wrapping Up: Behind Every Task is a Growth Story

Our work may start with terraform apply, helm upgrade, or docker push — but what we’re really doing is helping platforms move faster, scale smarter, and operate cheaper.

Whether it’s energy, gaming, education, or insurance — one truth holds: your infrastructure should never be the reason you slow down.

We’re here to make sure it isn’t.
