Case Study: Mintify scales to 30TB and 2T+ records with PlanetScale

Mintify scales to 30TB and 2T+ records with PlanetScale

Mintify, an NFT trading analytics platform, faced significant database scaling challenges as it anticipated handling 30 terabytes of data and performing calculations on over two trillion records. Their previous solution, DigitalOcean, was hitting CPU and RAM limits, causing up to six hours of downtime during migrations and threatening their growth. They needed a highly performant and scalable database solution, which led them to evaluate PlanetScale.

By migrating to PlanetScale, Mintify gained a managed horizontal sharding solution that eliminated disruptive, step-function migrations and downtime. The result was a highly available production environment where intensive calculations no longer impact user experience. PlanetScale provided an unlimited runway for growth, allowing Mintify to scale linearly and cost-effectively while also offering exceptional, expert-led support throughout the process.
