Case Study: WorkSafeBC achieves scalable, high-performance cloud hosting with Bayleaf

WorkSafeBC scales Azure resources to handle exponential COVID traffic with Bayleaf

WorkSafeBC, a provincial safety authority, faced the challenge of quickly migrating its vast amount of data from on-site servers to the cloud without any service disruption. This urgent need was driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, as their website became the primary source for critical safety protocols and reopening information for businesses across British Columbia. They trusted vendor Bayleaf and its expertise with Microsoft Azure to manage this critical migration and ensure performance during high-demand periods.

Bayleaf executed a strategic migration to Azure, leveraging its autoscaling capabilities to temporarily increase resources for data indexing and then scaling back for cost efficiency. This Azure infrastructure allowed WorkSafeBC to seamlessly handle unprecedented traffic spikes when new COVID-19 information was released. The solution ensured the site remained available and performant, playing a pivotal role in restarting the province's economy, while also providing economical operation during normal times through Bayleaf's managed services.
