Case Study: Framebridge improves Kubernetes reliability and developer productivity with Fairwinds Managed Kubernetes

Fairwinds Helps Framebridge Achieve Cleaner Infrastructure; Empowered Engineers

Framebridge, a company that revolutionized custom framing through its eCommerce platform and retail locations, faced significant operational challenges due to a static infrastructure that could not reliably handle traffic spikes. This constrained their engineering team and hindered growth. They engaged the vendor Fairwinds and its Managed Kubernetes service to address these issues with their Kubernetes workloads.

The Fairwinds solution involved building separate infrastructures to isolate workflows and creating a new internal POS system. This allowed Framebridge's engineers to focus on growth and new product development. The results included better infrastructure monitoring, a more empowered engineering team that was testing new products within a week, and successful support for the launch of their brick-and-mortar stores. Fairwinds continues to provide ongoing support and collaboration.
