Case Study: Showpitch (entertainment talent platform) achieves scalable, reliable infrastructure for high-traffic talent competitions with Rackspace Technology

Showpitch Helps Showbiz Professionals Get Noticed; Rackspace keeps Showpitch Running

Showpitch is a digital marketplace that connects performers, industry professionals and fans, and it was preparing a major public launch and a high-profile competition with Menudo that would drive large, unpredictable traffic spikes. With only two cloud servers, a tight timeline and plans for repeated campaigns, Showpitch needed to rapidly scale and stabilize its infrastructure to handle surges and future growth.

Showpitch partnered with Rackspace and its DevOps team to re-architect backend services and update the front end, implement automation, and enable elastic scaling. Rackspace’s Fanatical Support let the team meet the deadline, reduced developer workload and anxiety, and delivered a more robust, scalable platform capable of supporting competitions and ongoing product development.
