Case Study: SNCF Connect cuts CDN costs and boosts performance with HAProxy Enterprise

SNCF Connect cuts CDN costs by two-thirds with HAProxy

SNCF Connect, the online marketplace for the French national railway system, faced prohibitive costs and a lack of control with their off-the-shelf Content Delivery Network provider. Their challenge was to reduce these rising bandwidth expenses while maintaining low latency and gaining full observability over their infrastructure. They turned to HAProxy Enterprise to help build a new solution.

By implementing HAProxy Enterprise at the core of a custom-built CDN, SNCF Connect gained end-to-end control and superior observability. The solution from HAProxy resulted in a two-thirds drop in operating costs, even after an 80% increase in bandwidth. It also improved the customer experience by ensuring only 10% of requests need to reach their origin servers.
