We were scaling a SaaS solution built with microservices deployed on Kubernetes, but turning on CloudWatch for EKS was simply too costly on AWS—it increased our bill by about five times. I needed insights into network traffic, bandwidth usage, and other metrics, which were missing from my existing scripts. Using this solution not only provided those crucial insights but also allowed me to visualize the data, showing where it was going and how much was being used. This helped us achieve proper scaling much faster and made troubleshooting services within EKS far easier without the need for an EC2 instance or installing anything new into the kubernetes cluster.
