Streamlining Real Estate Giants Infrastructure Cost Optimization with Microservices and Blockchain Integration

We worked with a top real estate company in India, known for its online presence and large user base. Transactions on land and flats are handled securely using blockchain technology while their digital platform handles heavy traffic using a microservices-based architecture. This case study reveals how our partnership delivered real cost optimization, using open‑source tools and strategic architecture design around microservices and blockchain integration. The result: a 15 percent month‑on‑month cost drop without sacrificing speed or security.

Key Challenges

The real estate platform faced several pressing issues:

Monthly infrastructure costs had climbed to nearly one million dollars, impeding growth

The existing setup struggled during sales peaks, causing slowdowns

Heavy reliance on EC2 servers limited flexibility and increased expenses

Their application was monolithic, which slowed development and scaled poorly

Blockchain integration with AWS was secure but costly to maintain

Project Timeline

We started with a full overview of their infrastructure. Our phase breakdown:

Infrastructure review: 10 to 15 days

Architectural deployment: 2 months

Cost optimization efforts: 2 months

Our Approach

We combined AWS native services, open‑source solutions, and architecture redesign to deliver on cost optimization and modernize their stack via microservices and blockchain integration.

Blockchain Cost Optimization

Replaced always‑on blockchain nodes with a serverless model using Amazon Managed Blockchain (AMB) serverless access and AWS Lambda functions triggered only when needed

Added lifecycle policies to move historical blockchain data to S3 Glacier, reducing storage costs

Maintained security through IAM access controls, encryption at rest and in transit, and periodic audits

Monthly savings from these blockchain changes reached USD $30K to USD $40K.

Microservices Architecture on Kubernetes

Decomposed the legacy monolithic system into over thirty microservices

Deployed on Amazon EKS across four clusters and environments, running more than 800 pods

Integrated Karpenter for dynamic autoscaling of worker nodes to match traffic needs

This microservices rollout reduced EC2 spend by USD$ 50K to USD$60K monthly.

Open-Source CI/CD Integration

Replaced native AWS CI/CD tools with Jenkins to automate build, test, and deployment pipelines

Jenkins integrated well with the Kubernetes environment and offered cost-effective flexibility

This shift delivered about USD $25K to USD $30K in monthly savings.

Business Impact

Cost Optimization Delivered

Our strategy reduced infrastructure costs from around USD $900K–USD $1M to USD $800K–USD $900K per month. That meant real savings of about 15 percent.

Greater Scalability and Flexibility

With microservices running on Kubernetes and autoscaling enabled, traffic peaks are handled effortlessly. The platform now grows elastically with demand.

Performance Improvements

Resource efficiency and containerized workloads improved response times and platform stability. End users experienced faster page loads and seamless transactions.

Faster Development Cycles

Jenkins automation allowed frequent releases with minimal effort, enabling the engineering team to innovate rather than manage infrastructure overhead.

Better Blockchain Efficiency

By using event-based triggers and smart storage management, the blockchain setup stayed secure and efficient while cutting down unnecessary costs.

Conclusion

This project showed what can happen when the right technology choices are matched with a clear business need. The team stepped away from high-cost tools and moved toward open source alternatives that offered more control and flexibility. By restructuring their system with microservices and blockchain integration, they brought down ongoing cloud expenses, improved how the platform runs day to day, and built an infrastructure that can grow steadily alongside the business.

If your business is also dealing with rising cloud costs, limited scalability, or challenges around blockchain systems, Teleglobal has the experience to guide you through it. We focus on practical, long term solutions that align with your goals and help you build infrastructure you can count on.
