Case Study: Rent the Runway achieves faster, more reliable databases with Percona Consulting

Rent the Runway uses Percona to improve database performance and reliability

Rent the Runway, a fashion company built on data-driven technology, processes massive volumes of customer, inventory and fulfillment data to power its site and same-day reverse-logistics. Critical application and database response times were suffering from an unstable MySQL environment and poorly performing queries that led to outages.

Percona performed a performance audit, upgraded Rent the Runway to Percona Server for MySQL 5.6 without downtime, tuned the Performance Schema and schema/primary-key usage, and deployed a high-availability platform. The changes delivered significantly faster queries, improved stability and resilience, and ensured continuous 24x7 data availability for their applications and customers.
