Addictive Pixel cuts 3D scene management costs by 40% with AWS

Industry: Agencies & Marketing Technology

About

Addictive Pixel is a creative content and digital production partner, providing cost-efficient solutions for complex creative needs. They required a scalable, cloud-based platform to design, store, and manage 3D scenes while supporting different user access levels and future adaptability.

Challenge

Addictive Pixel’s industry-leading client needed a platform to store, manage, and design 3D scenes with robust user authentication and role management. The system had to be scalable, adaptable for future clients, and cost-efficient - while supporting complex visual editing features.

Solution

Firemind built a scalable AWS-based 3D scene management platform using AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon S3, and Amazon CloudFront for secure storage and delivery. Amazon DynamoDB and RDS enabled role-based user authentication, asset tracking, and centralised management.

The 3D editor, built with ThreeJS, pulled assets from S3 via signed URLs, while rendering tasks ran in AWS containers. CloudWatch provided monitoring and performance visibility. This cloud-native setup streamlined 3D scene creation, improved access control, and reduced operational costs by 40%.

Services used

  1. Amazon API Gateway
  2. AWS Lambda
  3. Amazon CloudFront
  4. Amazon S3

Results

  • 40% reduction in monthly costs
  • Scalable 3D scene creation with centralised asset management
  • Role-based access control for multiple user types
  • Faster asset retrieval and rendering performance

Firemind have always been my go-to developers. They take a great brief and add a huge amount of value, by sharing their knowledge and skill set. They have always delivered and have never objected to a change or comment on the roadmap. The perfect partner to work with.
