Case Study: ClickFunnels reduces Aurora MySQL load and boosts query performance with Readyset

ClickFunnels reduces Aurora MySQL read-replica workload by 85% with Readyset

ClickFunnels, a leading marketing and lead-generation platform, faced significant database scaling challenges as its rapid growth increased the workload on its AWS Aurora MySQL read replicas. This led to high costs and performance concerns. To overcome this, ClickFunnels turned to ReadySet for its database scaling and query caching solution to optimize performance and reduce its database load.

ReadySet implemented a solution that involved deploying its instances to handle targeted query traffic, integrated with ProxySQL for routing. This setup offloaded over 85% of the workload from the read replicas. ReadySet handled approximately 5,000 queries per second with only 6.6% CPU utilization, delivering cache hits in 30-40µs. This resulted in substantial cost savings by allowing ClickFunnels to scale its infrastructure more efficiently without any application code changes.
