Case Study: DerbySoft achieves global low-latency availability, scalable growth, and $900K in cost savings with Amazon Web Services

DerbySoft - Customer Case Study

DerbySoft is a Shanghai‑founded global distribution network that connects travel suppliers, distributors, and search engines (including partners like Expedia, Hilton, and Marriott) to synchronize real‑time hotel data worldwide. Facing the need to deliver low‑latency, highly scalable connectivity for users across the globe while cutting operating costs and avoiding large hardware investments, the company sought a way to automate transactions and prioritize innovation over infrastructure management.

DerbySoft migrated its infrastructure to AWS, deploying resources across multiple regions (Hong Kong, Japan, the US, Singapore) and using EC2, Elastic Load Balancing, Auto Scaling, RDS, VPC, ElastiCache, and CloudWatch to ensure low latency, high availability, and automated scaling. The move delivered near‑100% availability and faster real‑time data for 8,000+ hotels, drove rapid user growth, freed the IT team for higher‑value work, and avoided roughly $900,000 in capital expenditures while reducing maintenance costs.
