Case Study: Fandor achieves scalable Kubernetes infrastructure with Fairwinds Managed Kubernetes

Fandor Works with Fairwinds to Adopt Kubernetes; Improve Performance

Fandor, a subscription-based streaming service for indie films, faced significant challenges with scalability as its platform grew. Their legacy infrastructure could not handle increased load, leading to constant firefighting. Fandor wanted to adopt Kubernetes but lacked the in-house expertise and found it too expensive to hire a full-time DevOps team to manage the transition and ongoing operations.

Fairwinds provided its Managed Kubernetes solution to build and manage a solid, scalable infrastructure. This allowed Fandor's engineers to focus on application development and business initiatives instead of infrastructure problems. The results were excellent, with Fairwinds expertly handling issues like a rapid cluster rebuild with no outages. Fandor was able to successfully migrate its services and now has a reliable foundation for future growth on Kubernetes.
