Case Study: Writesonic scales on Kubernetes without DevOps engineers with Porter

Writesonic runs a 1.6TB Kubernetes cluster with Porter

Writesonic, an AI-powered writing assistant and Y Combinator graduate, faced scaling challenges with their previous AWS hosting solutions during rapid user growth. As a team without dedicated DevOps engineers, they wanted to migrate to Kubernetes on AWS EKS for better performance but were concerned about the significant infrastructure management overhead. They turned to the vendor Porter to solve this challenge.

By implementing Porter, Writesonic was able to quickly deploy their services to a managed Kubernetes cluster without needing to configure complex pipelines or manage YAML files themselves. The solution allowed the team to get up and running on EKS in just a couple of days and securely connect their auxiliary ML workloads on AWS. As a result, the engineering team could focus entirely on product development and core services. Porter enabled Writesonic to confidently scale to a 1.6TB cluster supporting over 300,000 users without having to hire any DevOps engineers.
