Case Study: HomeLight achieves scalable multi-app deployment on AWS with Porter

HomeLight manages 79 applications with Porter

HomeLight, a real estate technology company that connects buyers and sellers with specialized agents, faced a challenge with its proprietary Heroku platform. As the company grew to manage 79 applications, Heroku's limitations hindered their control over infrastructure and developer experience. They needed a new solution that offered ease of use without locking them into another closed platform, leading them to evaluate Porter.

By implementing Porter, HomeLight achieved a seamless transition to running applications in their own AWS cloud while maintaining a simple deployment process. The Porter solution provided first-class support for cronjobs and included built-in metrics dashboards for rightsizing resources. As a result, HomeLight now efficiently manages its 79 applications on Porter without needing a full-time DevOps engineer, giving the team greater control and flexibility.
