Case Study: Memberstack serves 30 million requests with Porter

Memberstack serves 30 million requests with Porter

Memberstack, a platform that helps developers add user logins and payments to websites, faced significant challenges with its previous hosting solutions. After encountering networking and security limitations on Heroku and then experiencing difficult debugging and fragile deployments with AWS Lambda and the Serverless Framework, they needed a more reliable and flexible platform. This led them to seek a solution from vendor Porter.

By implementing Porter, Memberstack gained a Heroku-like developer experience while running on their own AWS infrastructure and Kubernetes. This provided the flexibility to properly secure their database and other critical services within a dedicated VPC. The results were highly positive, with dependable automated deployments and a greatly improved hosting experience. Memberstack now serves 30 million requests on Porter, and adding new production-ready workers now takes minutes instead of days.
