Case Study: Boxed achieves greater security and scalability with Fairwinds Managed Kubernetes

Fairwinds Helps Boxed Reposition & Strengthen Infrastructure

Boxed, an online bulk goods retailer, needed help managing its innovative mobile app. With no dedicated operations staff, their developers struggled with an inconsistent infrastructure that had problematic security rules and numerous manual processes. The company turned to Fairwinds, adopting their Managed Kubernetes service to stabilize their environment, decrease vulnerabilities, and gain scalable 24/7 support.

The Fairwinds solution involved onboarding Boxed to an immutable infrastructure, organizing their systems, and cleaning up security groups. Fairwinds moved approximately 30 applications to this new environment, which enabled fully tested deployments and automated scaling. This eliminated daily troubleshooting, decreased exposure to attacks, and greatly improved the developer experience. As a result, Boxed achieved a more scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure, with the operational burden lifted from their team.
