Case Study: WONDROUS achieves 80% infrastructure cost reduction and faster, technology-agnostic workflows with Platform.sh

Finding technology agnosticism, freedom, and lower costs

WONDROUS, a Swiss digital creative studio, needed a technology‑agnostic hosting and workflow solution that would let its 23‑person team pick the best tools per project while simplifying and standardizing developer workflows. After struggling with vendor‑locked, cumbersome processes on Acquia across multiple Drupal 8 sites, WONDROUS sought a platform that provided automated environments, easy Git workflows and lower costs — and selected Platform.sh for hosting, feature‑branch environments and workflow automation.

WONDROUS migrated twelve Drupal 8 projects to Platform.sh, adopted Platform.sh templates and CI/CD workflows, and used feature branches and Git/GitHub integrations to speed development and onboarding. The move cut infrastructure resource and workflow costs by 80%, enabled many more concurrent projects and faster project provisioning (new projects can be set up in under 20 minutes), allowed a new developer to work across ~20 projects after a week, and delivered large‑scale reliability (supporting 200,000 authenticated users) — all outcomes attributed to Platform.sh.
