Case Study: Laika achieves secure, scalable fast-to-market product delivery with Microtica

Creating a secure and scalable platform with Microtica

Laika is a recruitment platform that matches talent and companies based on skills, preferences, and competencies. To bring its product to market quickly, the team needed a secure, scalable cloud infrastructure and a matching engine, but initially lacked the technology and in-house capacity to build and operate it. They chose Microtica for its developer-centric approach and used it to set up the backend logic, development infrastructure, and environments.

Microtica helped Laika build on AWS with ready-to-use components including a VPC, relational database, Kubernetes cluster, and custom Lambda components, plus microservices for core product functions and a React web app. The team used Microtica to automate scaling, replicate environments, and streamline deployments with testing and rollback protection. As a result, Laika supported over 3,000 portfolios in the first five hours of pre-launch, released features up to 4x faster, and improved effective cost per resource by 60%.
