Sustainability rightsizing.
A SaaS company reduces its cloud carbon footprint by scoring Sustainability, eliminating idle resources, and shifting batch jobs to greener regions.
Context
The company runs a multi-tenant SaaS platform with workloads spread across three cloud regions. Finance notices cloud costs rising, and the sustainability team needs concrete carbon data to report to the board. Idle dev and test environments are the first suspects.
Approach
The team adds the Wombat Sustainability pillar to their quarterly review. They measure idle compute, storage tiering, and region carbon intensity, then automate shutdown schedules and region selection for non-critical batch jobs.
Outcome
Over two quarters, idle resource costs drop by 34%, and the Sustainability PASS score improves from 38 to 67. Carbon metrics are now part of the engineering OKR dashboard.
