A 280-user SaaS ops team cut Client VPN connection-hours ~62% after moving 34 HTTPS apps to Verified Access — Site-to-Site on TGW stayed for the colo; full-tunnel Client VPN had been burning ~$1.1k/mo in idle connection fees.

A composite fintech API (~8ms p99 to metro users) spent ~$14k/mo on an Outposts rack before moving read-heavy paths to a Chicago Local Zone and keeping Outposts only for card-PIN HSM proximity — p99 held at 9ms, hybrid infra dropped ~38%. This is placement and connectivity, not EC2-vs-Lambda unit economics.
