Case Study: Cirrus Insight achieves near‑100% performance gains and dramatic downtime reduction with Redis Enterprise

Cirrus Insight, the #1 App on Salesforce, Uses Redis Enterprise for Session Management

Cirrus Insight, the #1 Salesforce app for integrating Salesforce with email, builds CRM plug‑ins that save emails, sync calendars, and manage leads, contacts, tasks and opportunities. Rapid growth (Inc. 5000 #41) created an urgent need to scale their database and session layer to handle hundreds of thousands of requests per second without sacrificing performance, so they evaluated Redis Enterprise for seamless scaling, 24×7 support, and stable high performance.

They implemented Redis Enterprise as the mission‑critical session store, using it for high‑speed transactions, job/queue management and caching, and rolled it out without downtime. The switch delivered nearly a 100% performance uplift with limited resources, reduced downtime by 70–90%, cut the need for specialized resources by 70–90%, and produced >90% more stable performance, prompting them to expand Redis usage across more application components.
