Case Study: Ping Proxies achieves global low-latency scaling with DigitalOcean

How Ping Proxies scales globally with DigitalOcean Managed Databases and App Platform

Ping Proxies, a UK-based ethical residential proxy provider, needed a globally scalable infrastructure that could deliver low-latency proxy and API services across Europe, the US, and Asia. They turned to DigitalOcean, using Managed Databases and App Platform to support their growing network infrastructure while keeping costs manageable and improving reliability.

DigitalOcean implemented Managed PostgreSQL, TimescaleDB, Droplets, and App Platform to enable global replication, faster queries, automatic failover, and easier hosting of Ping Proxies’ website and dashboard. The results were strong: Ping Proxies expanded into Asia, saw a surge in customers there, achieved 90.4% MMR growth, surpassed $1 million in ARR, and maintained low-thousands hosting costs with zero downtime in the last six months.
