Case Study: Digitalparking achieves scalable, reliable parking data management with Aiven for PostgreSQL

Digitalparking Leads the Smart Parking Revolution in Switzerland

Digitalparking, a Swiss family-run parking technology company, needed a more scalable way to manage its growing volume of payment, permit, configuration, and location data as its Parkingpay app expanded across Switzerland. After initially running PostgreSQL themselves, their small team reached the limits of what they could operate reliably, and the company began looking for a fully managed database service. Aiven for PostgreSQL® was chosen to support the move to a digital-first parking platform.

Aiven implemented a fully managed PostgreSQL environment on Google Cloud, with VPC peering and a fast migration that Digitalparking completed in two weeks with no service interruption. With Aiven handling operations, Digitalparking reports no data loss, seamless version upgrades, and security patching completed with a click instead of a full day of work. The result was improved scalability, performance, and reliability, while reducing business risk and freeing the in-house team to focus on customer value.
