A global, publicly traded SaaS platform specializing in data collaboration, helping businesses centralize and activate customer data to create highly accurate audience segments. The company offers advanced tools for data onboarding, cross-device measurement, and analytics—allowing organizations to reach and understand consumers more effectively.

The Challenge

Scale a Remote Workforce in a New Region

The company needed to rapidly scale its workforce in Mumbai without establishing a physical office. The goal was to get remote employees up and running in a brand-new geographic region, securely and at speed.

This is typically a slow, multi-step, resource-heavy process. To meet the challenge, the company had to quickly and securely integrate new team members into its global infrastructure: providing VPN access through company-issued laptops, deploying a geographically relevant network presence, managing firewalls across a distributed architecture, and meeting strict security and compliance standards—all on an accelerated timeline.

The stakes were high. They couldn't afford delays or compromises to security posture, even as they raced to operationalize a new region in record time.

The Approach

Infrastructure as Code for Global Speed

EverOps implemented a fully automated, code-driven solution to meet the company's infrastructure and security requirements in a compressed timeframe. Using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform, the team deployed secure, scalable infrastructure on AWS with speed and consistency.

The approach prioritized reusability—building templated components that could be deployed with minimal adjustments per site, establishing a pattern for future geographic expansion rather than a one-off solution.

The Approach

Embedded Expertise with a Clear Roadmap

EverOps embedded a 3-person FinOps Pod directly into Life360's platform team. Within the first week, our engineers had access to their AWS accounts, joined their Slack channels, and began a comprehensive cost analysis using our proprietary Opportunity Finder methodology.

The engagement followed a structured approach: two weeks of discovery and prioritization, four weeks of execution on high-impact optimizations, and two weeks of governance implementation to sustain savings. Throughout, the Pod operated as an extension of the internal team — attending standups, collaborating in real-time, and transferring knowledge continuously.

Unlike consultants who deliver reports, our Pod executed the changes directly — rightsizing instances, eliminating waste, renegotiating reserved capacity, and implementing automated cost controls.

The Solution

Templated, Automated, Ready to Replicate

EverOps delivered a fully automated infrastructure deployment that eliminated the manual overhead typically associated with geographic expansion.

Key Initiatives:

  • Network Provisioning — Deployed virtual networks, subnets, and encrypted VPN tunnels through Terraform, enabling secure connectivity for remote employees from day one.
  • Firewall Management — Used Panorama to manage firewalls with templated, configurable deployments that maintained consistent security policies across the distributed architecture.
  • Reusable Security Components — Built core security infrastructure as modular components requiring only minimal adjustments per site, dramatically reducing setup time for future locations.
  • Automation-First Delivery — Eliminated manual configuration steps, reducing both deployment time and risk of human error while ensuring compliance standards were met consistently.
The Results

EverOps delivered a fully operational site in just a few days—significantly accelerating deployment compared to traditional timelines that typically span weeks or months.

The automated, templated infrastructure ensured strong security without manual overhead, reduced costs, and minimized risk of error. Most importantly, the solution gave the company a scalable, repeatable model to support future global expansion while maintaining high standards for data protection and operational efficiency.

By leveraging Terraform and automation best practices, EverOps empowered the company to expand internationally without delay or added risk—demonstrating that cloud-first, code-driven infrastructure delivers the speed, security, and scalability required for modern, distributed work.
