Case Study: iOffer achieves sharding-free revenue scale with ClustrixDB

No need for sharding to achieve revenue scale

iOffer is a fast-growing, global interactive social commerce marketplace with millions of listings and a need for rich analytics alongside high-volume transactions. Their pre-Clustrix architecture relied on multi-master and many-slave MySQL replication with complex read/write routing and uneven master/slave loads; the team faced escalating application complexity and the looming prospect of labor-intensive sharding.

iOffer replaced that stack with ClustrixDB, a MySQL‑compatible, scale‑out cluster that appears as a single instance to the application, requires no schema or app changes, and is self‑healing with no single point of failure. The move eliminated the need for sharding and separate analytics slaves, simplified operations, and restored consistent performance at scale so the team could focus on growing the business.
