Case Study: Pricefalls achieves a 400% performance increase and greater transaction insight with Percona Server (Percona)

Pricefalls - Customer Case Study

Pricefalls is a start-up online marketplace and auction site with more than 10 million products that needed a database able to support very high transaction volumes while remaining stable, secure, and easy to replicate. MySQL Community Edition couldn’t meet those needs without raising costs, so the company sought an alternative that would deliver better performance and reliability.

Pricefalls migrated to Percona Server and saw up to a 400% performance increase within hours, with no changes to data or transactions. The move also provided deeper transaction visibility, improved tracking and data mining, and allowed Pricefalls to scale a more data‑intensive platform while keeping costs under control.
