Overview
Social Tables is a rapidly growing company that offers SaaS-based event planning software. Their solution allows clients to create room layouts, arrange guests seating and streamline check-in processes. Their top customers include Hilton, Hyatt, and Harvard.
Challenge
Social Tables experienced enormous growth of the client base in 2014. During the second half of the year their SaaS solution started to fail under the high load of user requests. Network and database glitches affected overall system performance and resulted into negative user experience.
Solution
Achievion’s infrastructure and Cloud experts analyzed the ongoing system issues and realized that product support infrastructure relied on a single MySQL database server hosted by a 3rd party provider. We created a roadmap to shift their entire infrastructure to the AWS cloud and configure it for peak load scenarios using highly scalable AWS services. The outcome was a resilient solution equipped to support 1000s of simultaneous user requests.
