Case Study: Burst achieves lower hosting costs and global digital agility with Platform.sh

Burst's platform vision and FleetOps strategy give global brand Mentos local agility and creative independence

Burst, a Netherlands-based digital agency, needed a better way to manage 100+ locally hosted Mentos websites without the costs, inconsistencies, and DevOps burden of doing it all in-country. The team wanted a scalable, secure, and agile global platform that could support local flexibility while reducing operational overhead.

Using Platform.sh cloud hosting and deployment tools with a Drupal-based setup, Burst built a centralized global digital marketing platform for Mentos that still allowed local teams to create and manage content, campaigns, and landing pages. The result was a 60% reduction in hosting costs, elimination of two DevOps FTE, and savings of millions of dollars annually, while improving speed, governance, and time to market across more than 100 sites.
