Case Study: GetSocial scales social engagement and analytics with Cloud 66

GetSocial helps brands amplify their social presence with Cloud 66

GetSocial, a Lisbon-based social engagement and analytics company, needed a faster, more reliable way to build and scale its Rails-based infrastructure as it pivoted from ecommerce to helping publishers grow traffic. With a small team and growing demand, the company turned to Cloud 66 for help managing staging, production stacks, and database backups without running DevOps in-house.

Using Cloud 66, GetSocial deployed and scaled its environments with one-click, zero-downtime releases, automatic provisioning, database management, and built-in security features like firewall configuration and brute-force protection. Cloud 66 also made it easy to add load balancing as traffic grew, helping GetSocial support a largest Rails stack handling 1,500 requests per second across 15 servers while letting the team focus on product development instead of infrastructure.
