How Hectarea unlocked 24% savings by improving its RDS coverage with Opsima
What does the company do?
Hectarea is a French entreprise à mission that allows individuals to invest directly in agricultural land. The platform empowers investors to support farmers and promote sustainable farming practices, all while earning stable rental income. Hectarea handles everything, from legal and technical studies to structuring the investment vehicle and managing leases, making farmland investment simple and accessible. Mission: make farmland investment accessible, support young farmers in setting up their farms, and accelerate the transition to ecological agriculture.
What were the cloud challenges?
As a B2B SaaS platform with real-time investment tracking and user dashboards, Hectarea’s engineering team was squarely focused on building and refining new features. This left limited bandwidth to optimize costly cloud infrastructure.
In particular, their RDS (Relational Database Service) usage remained uncovered by cost-saving commitments, creating escalating costs and reduced predictability.
What did Opsima do for them?
Opsima stepped in to streamline cloud cost optimization for Hectarea:
- Introduced RDS coverage, tackling their most inflexible cost area by applying Opsima dynamic Reserved Instances.
- Elevated coverage of compute resources to over 80%, using laddering technique and a smart mix of Savings Plans to match usage fluctuations.
- Optimization was fully automated, yielding a consistent net savings rate over time, with Opsima handling the monitoring and adjustment weekly, no manual intervention required.
- Hectarea engineering team regained time, saving approximately 2 hours per week otherwise spent on cost-management tasks.
What are the outcomes for the company?
Thanks to Opsima, Hectarea increased its cloud Net Saving Rate to 24%, and achieved over 80% coverage on both compute and RDS. The engineering team regained around two hours weekly, allowing them to refocus on core product development, accelerating feature rollouts, improving investor interfaces, and reinforcing platform reliability. This cost-efficiency boost came at zero manual effort, with Opsima running continuous, behind-the-scenes optimizations.
