Case Study: GrantStation improves speed, performance, and reliability with Platform.sh

GrantStation using a cutting-edge cloud platform to help fund cutting-edge research

GrantStation, a nonprofit grant-seeking platform, needed a faster, more reliable way to run its Drupal-based subscription database of grant opportunities and tutorials. After struggling with an outdated ASP/ASP.NET hosting setup that limited updates and new features, the customer turned to Platform.sh for a more flexible cloud hosting solution.

Platform.sh upgraded GrantStation to a modern hosting environment with improved server setup, added software support, and separate development and staging environments. This let GrantStation safely test changes in branches before going live, while also improving performance, reliability, and customer experience. The team also gained better visibility into production with metrics and observability tools, helping them monitor resource usage and anticipate issues.
