Case Study: HMP Global achieves 99.99% uptime and improved stability with Platform.sh

HMP Global’s PaaS journey from weekly outages to 99.99% uptime

HMP Global, a global events and publishing company in the healthcare space, managed around 150 websites and struggled with frequent outages, complex local development, and inconsistent DevOps practices. They turned to Platform.sh’s PaaS to support their Drupal-centric application infrastructure and streamline development across their distributed microsites and applications.

Using Platform.sh, HMP Global implemented local development replicas, CI/CD automation, branching workflows, and stronger QA/UAT processes. The results included a 200% improvement in application stability, uptime for its Global Learning Network rising from 99.95% to 99.99%, and one problematic site going from weekly crashes to no issues after migration.
