Customer spotlight
Decathlon, a major sporting goods retailer and official partner of the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games with 3,000+ engineers in over 50 countries, and 1,700 retail outlets worldwide,
"Aiven’s solution offers us a unique stack for deploying our database solutions for all cloud providers. This type of collaboration allows us to rely on Aiven’s expertise for some of our applications (especially for databases). We can then focus on the parts of the solutions that differentiate more from the UX of our customers."
Pierre Hilbert
Product Owner at Decathlon
La Redoute, a French e-commerce leader in home, decoration and fashion with 10 million customers across 26 countries and features 800+ brands like Adidas, Mango, and Monoprix,
“The team used to have a traditional DBA mentality and was spending up to 90% of the day doing maintenance, patching and upgrades. That’s all handled by Aiven now, freeing up the team to focus on business projects and delivering solutions much faster. We can deploy databases in minutes rather than weeks. Our strategic value in helping La Redoute derive data insights to keep ahead of the competition is recognized by upper management, and I’m proud that our team is growing as a result.”
