Case Study: Click Travel achieves 40% year‑over‑year growth and scalable, cost‑effective microservices with Amazon Web Services

Click Travel - Customer Case Study

Click Travel, founded in 1999, runs travel.cloud, a self-service web app that handles hotels, flights and train bookings for businesses (96% of bookings are online). Faced with a single monolithic application that slowed changes and lengthened test cycles, the company wanted to move to a microservices architecture to enable automation, continuous delivery, better supplier integrations, and to free its 32-person engineering team from infrastructure maintenance.

Click rebuilt its platform on AWS, adopting microservices provisioned with CloudFormation and deployed with CodeDeploy, and using Lambda, SNS, SQS, DynamoDB, S3, Redshift and Route 53 across multiple Availability Zones in EU (Ireland). The new architecture delivered scalable, highly available services, underpinned 40% year‑over‑year growth, cut expected EC2 costs by over 50% during low usage periods, sped deployments, and let engineers focus on product innovation and stronger supplier/customer integrations.
