Zaxby's Cloud Cost Reduction
Zaxby’s partnered with Arbory Digital to reduce their cloud infrastructure costs, optimize internal processes, and improve alerting and monitoring for their new online ordering application.
Zaxby's Infrastructure Efficiency Roadmap
To reduce cost and increase infrastructure efficiency, Arbory Digital teamed with Zaxby’s leadership to review and understand their individual pain points and system bottlenecks.
Arbory Digital started with a list of major offenders and developed a roadmap for the cost reduction plan. To start, our team of Experts began focusing on the vast amount of logging and indexing that was occurring. By filtering out the majority of the unneeded INFO logs while maintaining 100% of the WARN and ERROR level logs we were able to reduce the flow down ~97%. This enabled the Zaxby’s development team to focus on high priority issues while also reducing the server and network load by a significant factor.
This was just the beginning!
“December’s invoice is almost finalized, the current estimates stand at a 74% reduction for Indexed and Ingested logs. That is a massive decrease to our monthly Datadog spending thanks to your team!”

With the launch of the Zaxby’s Mobile App, Arbory Digital helped enhance the on-platform workflows leading to increased Zaxby’s customer retention and an improved end-user experience.
Arbory Digital improved the application health dashboards and alert thresholds for Zaxby’s. This helped Zaxby’s consume key data needed to scale and monitor their application’s health and end-user experience.
