Case Study: FYI Docs boosts PostgreSQL performance and cuts cloud costs with Pythian

FYI Docs boosts PostgreSQL performance for 250M documents with Pythian

FYI Docs, a document management platform, faced significant performance bottlenecks and escalating cloud costs with their AWS Aurora PostgreSQL database as their data grew to over 3TB. These issues caused query slowdowns and system instability that threatened customer experience. They partnered with the database consulting services vendor Pythian to resolve these critical infrastructure strains.

Pythian implemented a solution that included a comprehensive health check, large-table partitioning, and autovacuum tuning. This stabilized the system and slashed cloud spend by right-sizing AWS resources. The results made over 250 million documents more accessible for 15,000 users and established a scalable foundation for future growth. FYI Docs described Pythian as a strategic partner that was invaluable to their success.
