BeezLabs Case Study

Discover how BeezLabs transformed its operations with Civo's managed Kubernetes platform, driving innovation and efficiency in AI-driven automation and enterprise data solutions.

About BeezLabs

Beez Innovation Labs Pvt. Ltd. (BeezLabs) is a pioneering technology company at the intersection of AI, automation, SAP ecosystems, blockchain, and cloud-native engineering. Founded in 2019, BeezLabs has grown into a multi-disciplinary team of 15+ engineers, architects, and consultants working across India and global markets. The company builds enterprise-grade platforms blending AI/LLM agents, SAP-focused accelerators, blockchain-anchored auditability solutions, and cloud-native data engineering.

What was the problem?

Before partnering with Civo, BeezLabs faced significant challenges in managing cloud-native workloads at scale. The company struggled with high operational overhead, cost inefficiency, slower innovation cycles, and a steep learning curve for its team. BeezLabs needed a platform that could support both enterprise-grade reliability and startup-style agility.

To overcome these challenges, BeezLabs had several key objectives:


Working cogs
Simplicity in Kubernetes management

BeezLabs wanted clusters up and running in minutes, not hours or days, with minimal configuration overhead.

Cogs with a dollar sign inside
Cost predictability and efficiency

The company needed a platform that could scale without incurring runaway cloud bills.

How did Civo help?

BeezLabs leverages Civo's managed Kubernetes platform as the backbone for delivering AI-driven automation and enterprise data solutions. By doing so, the company has been able to scale its microservices, utilize GitOps with ArgoCD, and manage event-driven architectures with Kafka, enabling faster automation rollouts while reducing operational risks. As Karthikeyan Venkatesan, CEO and CTO of BeezLabs, notes, "Civo's simplicity reduces the infrastructure management burden, allowing our engineers to focus directly on delivering business features." This has translated into faster time-to-market, predictable costs, and better developer productivity for BeezLabs.

The company's AI and automation platforms, including LLM agentic platforms and process automation connectors, run on Civo, ensuring reliable performance and compliance. Additionally, complex data engineering flows, such as Airflow DAGs, invoice processing, and blockchain audit trails, run reliably on Civo clusters, ensuring performance, compliance, and transparency. BeezLabs' teams also frequently spin up clusters for proofs-of-concept, and Civo's solution makes these cycles rapid, cost-efficient, and frictionless.

Compared to their previous cloud setups on hyperscalers, Civo has been a clear step up for BeezLabs in terms of cost, performance, and support. The company has been able to run multiple AI and data workloads at a fraction of the cost, without worrying about unpredictable spikes, thanks to Civo's transparent pricing model. As Karthikeyan Venkatesan notes, "Civo gives us the speed, transparency, and personal support that align with how we operate as a lean but enterprise-focused company."

“On hyperscalers, even small experimental workloads racked up bills quickly due to hidden overheads and complex pricing. With Civo's transparent model, we've been able to run multiple AI and data workloads at a fraction of the cost—without worrying about unpredictable spikes.”
