Case Study: Byteful scales 5 billion monthly proxy requests with Scaleway Elastic Metal and Managed Kubernetes

Byteful boosts MRR by 30.66% with Scaleway

Byteful, a UK-based ethical residential proxy provider, faced challenges with a slow, monolithic code base that hindered development and scaling. As a bootstrapped company, they needed an affordable solution to separate their systems for independent scaling. They turned to vendor Scaleway to address this using their Elastic Metal and Managed Kubernetes services.

Scaleway's solution enabled Byteful to build an API-first platform that processes 5 billion monthly proxy requests. The results were significant: Byteful delivered more updates in three months than in the previous two years and increased their monthly recurring revenue by 30.66%, reaching $1 million in annual recurring revenue. For the future, Byteful is extending its use of Scaleway's AI platform to further optimize traffic routing and enhance its data collection services.
