Case Study: FTMO achieves faster trading performance and scalable uptime with MariaDB Cloud on Google Cloud

FTMO handles 5x more trader sessions with MariaDB

FTMO, an educational technology company that provides simulated trading environments, faced performance and scaling challenges as its global user base grew. Their existing database struggled with slow queries and bottlenecks during peak trading hours, threatening trader trust and revenue. FTMO needed greater reliability and faster performance without increasing operational overhead, leading them to partner with MariaDB and adopt MariaDB Cloud on Google Cloud for a fully managed solution.

MariaDB implemented its MariaDB Cloud service on Google Cloud, emphasizing autoscaling and continuous availability, with direct engineering support for configuration and cutover. The results included roughly three times faster performance during busy periods and the ability to handle five times more concurrent trader sessions without lag. This improved performance and scalability, supported by multi-zone availability for over 99.99% uptime, allowed FTMO to launch new user cohorts immediately and expand into new markets.
