Case Study: Think Through Math achieves faster performance and greater agility with Scalr

Think Through Math - Customer Case Study

Think Through Math, an adaptive math learning platform, faced performance issues on Heroku, with peak response times reaching an unacceptable 600ms. They needed to migrate to an Infrastructure-as-a-Service provider within three months while maintaining developer agility. The customer chose Amazon Web Services for infrastructure but selected the Scalr cloud management platform to provide the higher-level management interface they required.

By leveraging Scalr's extensible orchestration engine and its integration with Postgres, the team rapidly migrated their applications and database. Scalr automated critical functions like load balancing and failover. This solution dramatically improved performance, cutting peak response times by two-thirds to 200ms. The migration was completed on schedule, and Scalr's integrated tools enabled the entire engineering team to be onboarded in under three weeks, allowing them to refocus on innovation.
