Case Study: Smartsheet improves support and optimizes hosting costs with amazee.io’s dedicated Kubernetes-based hosting

Supporting Enterprise SaaS Demand with Dedicated Kubernetes-Based Web Hosting

Smartsheet, a leading collaborative work platform used by over 90% of the Fortune 100, sought to optimize hosting expenses and gain faster support for their high-traffic Drupal websites. They engaged vendor amazee.io to migrate their sites from a previous provider to amazee.io's Lagoon hosting platform on Kubernetes.

amazee.io implemented a dedicated Kubernetes cluster on AWS, leveraging their Lagoon platform to provide autoscaling, a CDN, and WAF tooling. The solution included 24/7 support with a 15-minute SLA, often responding within minutes. This resulted in the ability to instantly autoscale infrastructure by 400% to handle traffic spikes and a significantly improved support experience for Smartsheet's developers.
