## Three Ways Digital Twin Testing Saves Money

### Infrastructure (50% savings)

Reduce always-on staging, right-size dev environments, and minimize load testing infrastructure needs.

### Incidents (58% reduction)

Testing with real production traffic patterns catches issues before they reach customers.

### Efficiency (80% less time)

Auto-generated tests from traffic mean engineers spend less time writing and maintaining test code.

## What Our Customers Say

> "We liked Speedscale's approach of capturing traffic, redacting sensitive data, and then replaying it in a dev environment. We instantly saw how it could make our lives easier, plus save a lot of time and money."

Darin Stromberg

Software Architect, [Navitaire](https://speedscale.com/customers/navitaire/)

> "Speedscale gave us clear insight on the upper load limit of our software. Whereas with K6, it was more binary, like a PASS/FAIL grade. Speedscale took it one step further to help us understand exactly where our breakpoints were."
