Case Study: Vercara achieves 20x domain hosting capacity with Impetus on AWS

Vercara boosts DNS capacity 10x with Impetus

Vercara, a leading provider of security solutions, sought to upgrade its legacy Domain Name System (DNS) service to significantly increase its domain hosting and resolution capacity while enhancing security and analytics. The company partnered with vendor Impetus to re-engineer its system into a next-generation, scalable platform on AWS.

Impetus transitioned Vercara's architecture to a microservices-based model on AWS, replacing Oracle with Aurora PostgreSQL and implementing automated deployments. This solution delivered a 20x increase in domain hosting capacity and a 10x improvement in DNS resolution, enabling Vercara to manage 800 billion queries daily. The project also achieved sub-millisecond latency, strengthened security, and reduced annual licensing costs by $4 million, positioning Vercara as one of the world's fastest DNS providers.
