Case Study: Crowdcube achieves scalable growth and DevOps capability with Cloud Pro (Rackspace Managed Cloud)

Crowdcube chooses Rackspace Managed Cloud

Crowdcube, the UK-based crowdfunding platform, needed to scale quickly as traffic grew and its infrastructure began slowing the site and causing downtime that led to lost revenue. The company wanted to expand DevOps capabilities without the cost of hiring a full in-house team, and turned to Cloud Pro’s Managed Cloud service.

Cloud Pro implemented a setup that let Crowdcube’s existing engineers focus on building the application while Cloud Pro handled keeping the platform running smoothly. The result was the equivalent of 10–15 DevOps engineers at Crowdcube’s disposal, improved scalability and stability, and support for major growth milestones including nearly 200,000 users and close to £100 million raised.
