IDT Solution
Innovative Digital Transformation LLC (IDT) designed a comprehensive migration strategy to transition SavvyMoney’s observability environment from New Relic to an AI-driven monitoring and log management system on AWS.
The solution combines automation, performance optimization, and intelligent analytics, leveraging AWS-native services to deliver continuous insight into application and infrastructure health.
Core architecture components include:
- Amazon OpenSearch Service: Centralized log storage, indexing, and visualization for real-time analytics.
- AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry: Collection and export of metrics and traces across application and ECS workloads.
- Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus & Amazon CloudWatch: Application and infrastructure metric aggregation with intelligent alerting.
- AWS X-Ray: End-to-end distributed tracing for request-level visibility.
- AI-powered diagnostics: Machine learning-based anomaly detection and pattern recognition to identify performance issues proactively.
This implementation is designed to maintain operational continuity while enabling SavvyMoney’s internal DevOps team to manage and extend the platform independently, ensuring long-term agility and cost optimization.

Case Study
The Challenge
As SavvyMoney’s platform continued to scale, the company recognized the need for greater flexibility, transparency, and cost efficiency in its observability stack.
The existing third-party monitoring platform delivered valuable insights but introduced high recurring costs and limited opportunities for fine-tuned optimization. To maintain system reliability while improving cost management and long-term scalability, SavvyMoney sought to transition to a self-managed, AWS-based monitoring and log management framework.
The goal was to consolidate performance metrics, trace analytics, and log visibility within a single, AI-enhanced platform—ensuring real-time observability while maintaining full ownership of monitoring data.
