Case Study: LightSwitch API achieves greater performance, scalability, and lower costs with MySQL HeatWave

LightSwitch API cuts backend setup from weeks or months to instant with MySQL HeatWave

LightSwitch API, an Australian technology startup, needed a cloud-based managed database service to power its no-code REST API platform. Their main requirements were high performance, strong security, and low-cost subscription pricing to pass these benefits on to their customers. After reviewing various options, they selected MySQL HeatWave from MySQL as their preferred provider.

By implementing MySQL HeatWave on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, MySQL provided a solution that delivered significant performance boosts, scalability, and built-in security. This resulted in a lower cost for LightSwitch API, allowing them to offer a more powerful and affordable platform. The solution enables developers to instantly generate application backends, a process that previously took weeks or months, and provides the ability to handle large amounts of data and scale on demand without downtime.
