- 0manual publishing steps
Where they started
Daily Edge Sports ran on the same first-stack pattern we see across our client base: WordPress in front, Google Sheets behind it. Publishing was manual. Analytics were manual. And the infrastructure bill was high for what it actually delivered.
What we changed
We migrated the platform off WordPress and Google Sheets and replaced manual publishing with automated content and analytics pipelines. Content flows through the system without a person pushing each piece; analytics update themselves.
- Automated content pipelines replacing hands-on publishing work.
- Automated analytics replacing spreadsheet-driven reporting.
- An AWS architecture sized to the workload — delivered at 68.53% lower AWS cost than the prior setup.
The cost number is precise because we measured it. Cloud savings here weren't a discount or a cheaper tier — they came from an architecture that stopped paying for work the system didn't need to do.

Paying too much for infrastructure that does too little?
Cost is an engineering outcome. We treat it that way.
