Case Study: KURIER.at achieves scalable, high‑availability, low‑cost high‑traffic news delivery with MySQL Cluster (MySQL)

KURIER.at Powers its HighTraffic News Portal with MySQL Cluster

KURIER.at is one of Austria’s leading online news sites with over one million readers. Faced with the need for a reliable, high-performance database to manage sessions and user data on a tight online-media budget, the team required a cost-effective, easily scalable solution that would not require adding dedicated DBAs.

KURIER.at deployed MySQL Cluster to power login, user data, session management and its CMS, choosing it for maintenance safety, stability and linear scalability. The cluster now supports 150,000+ users, handles more than one million page views per day, and processes online transactions such as subscriptions while keeping operational complexity and total cost low.
