Case Study: SORACOM achieves faster, more reliable IoT dashboards with Cloudflare

SORACOM speeds development 2-3x with Cloudflare

SORACOM, a company dedicated to democratizing IoT, faced challenges in providing a stable and responsive dashboard service for its customers. Their multi-tenant architecture was vulnerable to traffic spikes from a single account impacting the entire service. They also needed to streamline their development process, as developers faced significant waits for access to testing environments. To address this, they turned to vendor Cloudflare and its Workers platform.

By implementing Cloudflare Workers, SORACOM was able to cache POST requests in a distributed manner, drastically reducing the load on their origin server. This solution provided the required stability and performance; requests that once took over 10 seconds now complete in milliseconds. Furthermore, Cloudflare's security features like WAF and DDoS protection safeguarded their applications. The vendor's tools also enhanced development efficiency, cutting wait times for developers and speeding up the development process by two to three times.
