FullBeauty cut middleware costs and modernized for retail seasonality on AWS.

1The Challenge

• FullBeauty's MuleSoft enterprise license was sized for seasonal peaks and stayed expensive even when underused.
• License renewal required heavy legal and operational overhead, while support knowledge sat with only a few people.
• The business needed resilient retail integrations without continuing to overpay for middleware.

2What We Did

• Nova assessed the migration path, designed the roadmap, and led redesign, testing, and rollout.
• The replacement workloads were rebuilt with a serverless, cloud-native approach on AWS PaaS services.
• The operating model reduced dependency on a narrow set of middleware specialists.

3Results

• The program drove a major cost reset, moving annual spend from about $300K to $50K.
• Nova's approach produced $140K in first-year ROI and about $250K in ongoing annual ROI.
• FullBeauty gained a retail architecture better suited to seasonal demand and lower support friction.
