Case Study: Mapbox achieves faster, more reliable map delivery with Dyn Managed DNS

Putting Information On The Map

Mapbox, a mapping software company based in Washington, DC and San Francisco, needed a way to better scale its fast-growing service and handle massive traffic spikes while keeping maps fast and highly available. To support this challenge, Mapbox turned to Dyn Managed DNS for global redundancy and more flexible traffic management.

Dyn implemented Traffic Director with failover and load balancing, along with an anycast DNS network to route users to the nearest data center and keep regional traffic in-region. This reduced latency, improved availability, and simplified global redundancy for Mapbox, with outages automatically rerouted within minutes and plans to expand further benefiting from Dyn’s Brazil POP.
