Case Study: Airbnb achieves global scale and superior web and mobile customer experience with Akamai Technologies

Akamai Helps Airbnb Scale Globally And Deliver A Superior Customer Experience On Both Web And Mobile Devices

Airbnb is a global community marketplace for booking unique accommodations — homes, apartments, villas and more — with customers in 192 countries. As the company scaled rapidly, it needed to ensure fast, reliable web and mobile experiences for users around the world to support bookings and maintain a high-quality customer experience.

Akamai provided global content delivery and performance solutions that accelerated and secured Airbnb’s web and mobile traffic, enabling consistent, low-latency experiences across regions and devices. The result was a scalable international platform that improved user experience, supported marketplace growth and helped Airbnb deliver dependable service to travelers and hosts everywhere.
