Case Study: Roomies cuts compute costs 80% with Laravel Cloud

Roomies cuts compute costs 80% with Laravel

Roomies, a platform for finding roommates, faced rising infrastructure costs and performance issues on Heroku. The team was also blocked from using key Laravel-native features they needed. This prompted them to seek a solution from the vendor, Laravel, by migrating to their platform, Laravel Cloud.

By migrating to Laravel Cloud, Roomies successfully cut their compute costs by 80%. The Laravel solution unlocked critical features like Nightwatch, which immediately identified performance issues, and provided a 12x increase in cache capacity for less money. The platform now reliably handles 135 million monthly requests with minimal manual intervention for the small engineering team.
