Fathom Infrastructure Optimization Case Study

This case study details the challenges faced by Fathom, a digital manufacturing company, due to their outdated infrastructure, which relied on basic AWS configurations and Jenkins deployments. The existing setup caused frequent deployment failures, required extensive support, and hindered the team's productivity. To address these issues, Fathom sought assistance from Fairwinds to implement a modern, scalable Kubernetes infrastructure. The solutions provided included Managed Kubernetes-as-a-Service and Fairwinds Insights, which facilitated continuous security scanning, cost monitoring, and resource optimization. As a result of these implementations, Fathom experienced significant improvements, including a reduction in deployment cycle time by approximately three days per month and an increase in project delivery. The partnership with Fairwinds not only enhanced operational efficiency but also allowed Fathom to focus on their core development work without the constant stress of infrastructure management. This case study illustrates the positive impact of adopting modern infrastructure solutions on productivity and operational effectiveness.
