Case Study: Flyclops achieves 100% growth without a DBA with PlanetScale

Flyclops handles 100% growth without a DBA with PlanetScale

Flyclops, a game studio handling millions of players and over 1.5TB of legacy data, faced significant challenges with its AWS Aurora database. Without a dedicated DBA on staff, the company struggled with expensive and lacking support, performance issues, and zero confidence in making essential schema changes. They needed a new solution that could handle their memory-bound workload and rapid growth.

By migrating to PlanetScale, Flyclops gained a serverless MySQL-compatible database with superior tooling and support. The results included increased confidence in making schema changes, improved development velocity, and significant cost savings compared to hiring an in-house team. PlanetScale's solution provided the expertise and scalable infrastructure to safely handle more than twice their current workload.
