The Cloud Costs of Roasting Your Chicken: Electrolux IoT case study
Electrolux Platform Engineering team will share their story of how they optimized their cloud spending and allocate costs so they can see exactly how much it costs to run a single connected appliance. Electrolux Group is a major appliance company that is at the forefront of using the Internet of Things (IoT) technology in their appliances to improve the digital experience for their customers. They sell millions of household products every year under brands like Frigidaire, AEG, and Electrolux. You'll learn how Electrolux gained control of the cloud expenses, empowered developers to manage cloud costs more effectively, enabled management to make decisions based on unit costs, and converted their experience into open-source tools.
Why we skipped SRE and switched to Platform Engineering?
We work in the IoT space at Electrolux Group, a leader in the Home Appliance industry, scaling from 10 to 300 developers with just 5 Ops engineers in four years. Promoting SRE principles proved challenging, so we shifted to Platform Engineering. In this talk, we’ll share how we built an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) integrated with our cloud and toolchains, embedding SRE principles. The IDP empowers developers to manage infrastructure and services autonomously, boosting productivity and enabling new regions to launch in a day.
We’ll explore Electrolux's shift from SRE to platform engineering, addressing scalability and self-service challenges through automation, SaaS adoption, and our IDP. Finally, we’ll share how open-sourcing this platform benefits the developer community.
