Case Study: ClickUp achieves consistent global performance and 99.99% uptime with EnterpriseDB Postgres Distributed

Project Management SaaS company uses EDB Postgres Distributed to achieve consistent performance globally

ClickUp is a fast-growing SaaS project management platform used by over 100,000 teams, including customers like Apple, Nike, Uber, Google and Airbnb. Rapid global adoption strained its PostgreSQL backend: cross-region replication caused write latency and consistency issues, and BDR v1 hit performance and scalability limits for their multi‑master needs.

With EDB’s guidance ClickUp migrated to EDB Postgres Distributed v3, optimally configuring a multi‑master cluster (7 nodes, ~300 GB) and adding 24/7 support. The upgrade delivered consistent global performance, high availability across regions, the ability to perform zero‑downtime upgrades when needed, and 99.99% uptime for 12 consecutive months, enabling continued growth.
