Case Study: Conrad Electronic Achieves Fast, Scalable E-Commerce with Aiven

Conrad Electronic Expands E‑Commerce Platform with Aiven

Conrad Electronic, the German-based international sourcing platform for technical supplies, needed to modernize its fast-growing e-commerce data infrastructure without any downtime. As its database became the heart of operations for millions of customers and a rapidly expanding product catalog, the company turned to Aiven for managed open source data services, including PostgreSQL and Apache Kafka, on Google Cloud.

Aiven helped Conrad seamlessly upgrade and run its cloud data infrastructure with managed PostgreSQL, Apache Kafka, OpenSearch, and M3. The result was a faster, more stable, and scalable platform handling 11.2 million requests per hour with 99.99% uptime and latency below 1 millisecond, while also enabling real-time data streaming across systems and freeing Conrad’s engineers to focus on customer value.
