The Challenge: Manual Infrastructure Was Making Resilient Scaling Impossible
As a growing company, Xvoucher was grappling with a significant challenge: they wanted to scale their AWS infrastructure without spending an excessive amount of time on manual tasks. They recognized that Infrastructure as Code (IaC) was the way forward but found creating IaC for existing resources themselves was both time-consuming and prone to human error.
Rafael Demenech, DevOps Engineer at Xvoucher, describes the situation: "Whenever you need to deploy a resource to another environment, you encounter a very time-consuming process. This task requires performing manual steps, taking the same actions you did previously in the AWS console, replicating them, then validating and refining these steps. This prolonged procedure often extends a simple task to a duration of one to two weeks, adding significantly to our daily workload."
Without IaC, every new environment was a manual reconstruction from scratch — ungoverned, error-prone, and impossible to recover reliably at speed.
The Solution: Automating IaC to Build a Governed, Recovery-Ready Cloud
Xvoucher met Firefly at AWS re:Invent 2022, Firefly’s booth was adjacent to Xvoucher’s booth, so Rafael took the opportunity to watch a quick demo of Firefly. To his surprise, Firefly was exactly the solution he was looking for that could boost the efficiency of his team and help them scale in a reliable way without investing countless hours.
Xvoucher deployed Firefly to automatically codify their existing cloud resources into IaC — giving every resource a governed, version-controlled definition and the foundation needed to reliably replicate or recover environments at any time.
The Results: A Faster, Governed Cloud — and the Equivalent of a Full-Time DevOps Hire Saved
With Firefly's solution, Xvoucher was able to reduce the time it took to create a new environment from over a week to less than two days. Moreover, they saved a full-time DevOps role that would have specialized only in creating IaC – with an average salary of $104,441 per year.
The speed, governance, and reliability brought by Firefly have made it a critical part of the Xvoucher team — not just for efficiency, but as the backbone of how they manage and protect their cloud infrastructure.
Looking Ahead
Xvoucher plans to continue expanding their use of Firefly — exploring new capabilities as they deepen their IaC coverage and governance across the organization. On top of that, they're interested in implementing the product among the R&D developers so they can generate IaC more easily with Firefly and enable the DevOps team, to focus more on value-added efforts.
Conclusion
By adopting Firefly, Xvoucher didn't just save time and money — they transformed their infrastructure into a governed, IaC-first foundation that can scale and recover reliably. Every resource is now codified, every environment reproducible in under two days, and the DevOps team is free to focus on what matters. For a 50-person company, that's not just efficiency — it's resilience by design.
