Case Study: Web Summit scales global conferences with Cloud 66

Web Summit the Global conference organisers run on Cloud 66

Web Summit, Europe’s largest tech conference organizer, needed a simpler way to deploy and manage its growing infrastructure without a dedicated DevOps team. As its events expanded globally and traffic tripled, the team wanted a hassle-free way to handle configuration, monitoring, builds, and scaling across different regions and time zones.

Cloud 66 provided the platform to run Web Summit’s entire infrastructure, including the API behind its mobile app, with one-click deployments and simplified migration from DigitalOcean to AWS. Cloud 66 helped Web Summit scale load balancers and backend servers to support growth from 3K attendees in 2012 to 25K in 2014, while freeing engineers to manage their own apps and focus more on features than infrastructure.
