Case Study: Couchsurfing achieves real-time data-driven decision making with Attunity

Couchsurfing - Customer Case Study

Couchsurfing, the community-based social travel network, had grown to millions of users but its original architecture couldn’t support data analysis. The company was dealing with data spread across 46 MySQL databases on 25 servers, along with delays, query timeouts, and dirty data, so its product team was relying on hunches instead of evidence.

Attunity, working through Bytecode IO, helped Couchsurfing implement a real-time data intelligence solution using Attunity CloudBeam, AWS Redshift, and Looker. Attunity CloudBeam reduced ETL development from months to hours and replicated data near real-time into a centralized operational data store, enabling faster analysis, data-driven product decisions, and a more scalable re-launch; within a month, data was driving meetings and accelerating development.
