A Oracle Case Study
forTravel Updates 300 Million Records Instantly, Ensures Stable Travel Portal Business Operations, and Supports 20% Annual Growth
forTravel, Inc., a Tokyo-based subsidiary of Kakaku.com that operates one of Japan’s largest travel portals, faced rapid growth and massive data volumes from millions of monthly subscribers—including 1.6 million reviews and 850,000 trip blogs. The company needed to ensure reliability and scalability to support 20% year‑on‑year growth while reducing engineers’ workload and system complexity.
forTravel upgraded to MySQL Standard Edition with Oracle Premier Support for MySQL, completing the migration in a month and adopting a single supported upgrade pattern. The new platform instantly processes and displays 300 million updated records, improved availability and issue response times (hours instead of days), simplified maintenance, and reduced costs through unlimited support incidents and ongoing product updates.
