With Aiven, Paperlust no longer has any performance worries. “It also minimizes our downtime due to region changes or instance-type changes,” Alex notes. “It gives us flexibility to change the database configuration as needed without worrying about downtime. Besides, we no longer have to call the dev team to simply change the endpoint.”
The development team is happy too, since it spares the team from infrastructure maintenance on a daily basis.
“We can use that time to improve other aspects of our application,” says Alex. “We’re saving considerably in terms of cost and time that would be needed for infrastructure management, while also getting other benefits from Aiven. One benefit that we especially like about Aiven is the zero downtime during management operations. We will take advantage of it as we grow by moving the region or instance type scaling.”
For the end users, Paperlust’s page loads much faster now, and customers can browse and purchase the designs more easily. And things that make the customers happy also benefit the company’s bottom line.
“I would absolutely recommend Aiven for any company that wants to make the scalability of its infrastructure much more effortless,” says Alex.
