Case Study: Munzee doubles capacity and ensures zero-downtime reliability with Linode Professional Services

Munzee Gets Expert Sysadmin Pointers, Simple Pricing, Continual Uptime, and Doubled Capacity through Linode Professional Services

Munzee is a free, global mobile scavenger-hunt game founded in 2011 in McKinney, Texas that quickly grew to hundreds of thousands of players and millions of captures. Rapid, seat-of-the-pants scaling and an inexpertly configured database left the team facing performance, server-allocation, and load‑balancing challenges and a strict requirement to keep downtime to a minimum.

Munzee migrated to Linode Professional Services, who handled migrations, optimized server config, and provided fast, knowledgeable support and simple pricing. The result was doubled capacity and maximized uptime—Munzee handled 560,000+ captures in a 24‑hour period with zero problems—giving the team reliability, peace of mind, and the ability to focus on gameplay and growth.
