Continental Resources: 20 enterprise apps, governed on AWS
Continental Resources has been running enterprise applications on their own AWS infrastructure, governed by HyperLocal, for over four years.
20 production enterprise apps. 25,000 users. Full control required.
Continental Resources built their application portfolio on a licensed low-code platform. With 20 production apps serving 25,000 users, the business depended on these workloads daily. But running them on vendor cloud meant limited infrastructure control, constrained compliance posture, and a monthly bill of approximately $35,000.
They needed their apps on their own AWS infrastructure — with their own Git repositories, their own CI/CD pipelines, their own runtime controls, and their own governance perimeter. Without a large dedicated platform engineering team to manage Kubernetes, certificates, patching, and compliance across 20 apps and multiple environments.
HyperLocal Govern: control plane + agents
Continental Resources moved their 20 enterprise apps from vendor cloud to their own AWS infrastructure. HyperLocal's control plane defines governance intent. The ForgeAgent and Operations Agent execute it locally — provisioning, policy enforcement, patching, certificate rotation, and anomaly detection. All continuously, all automated.
HyperLocal control plane. Continental's AWS data plane.
Governance intent flows from the HyperLocal control plane. Execution happens entirely inside Continental's AWS account. Data never leaves their boundary.
$10,000/mo vs $35,000/mo
Same 20 apps. Same 25,000 users. 71% lower monthly spend — with more control, not less.
| Vendor Cloud | HyperLocal on AWS | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | ~$35,000/mo | ~$10,000/mo |
| Annual cost | ~$420,000/yr | ~$120,000/yr |
| Infrastructure control | Vendor-managed cloud | Continental's AWS account |
| Source control | Vendor-managed repositories | Own Git repositories |
| CI/CD | Vendor deploy pipeline | Own pipelines |
| Runtime governance | Vendor-managed | HyperLocal agents — drift, CVE, certs |
| Monitoring | Vendor-provided metrics | Agent-driven — anomaly detection, predictive |
| Annual savings | ~$300,000/yr (71% reduction) |
Four years in production
20 enterprise apps moved from vendor cloud to Continental's AWS. Own Git, own pipelines, own runtime.
Drift detection, compliance evidence, backup policies, and observability applied from the first deployment.
Operations Agent patches CVEs, rotates certificates, detects anomalies. 99.9% SLA sustained.
20 apps serving the organisation daily. 9.7 CSAT. Continental owns every layer of their stack.
What Continental gained
From $35,000/mo on vendor cloud to $10,000/mo on their own AWS — including HyperLocal subscription and AWS infrastructure costs. $300K+ annual savings reinvested in product development.
Continental owns their Git, pipelines, runtime, databases, and network perimeter. No vendor-controlled deployment. No data leaving their account.
Consistent uptime across 20 production apps serving 25,000 users. Agent-driven monitoring with predictive failure detection keeps incidents rare and short-lived.
End-user satisfaction sustained over four years. Reliable apps, fast deployments, and stable infrastructure mean users trust the platform.
