Case Study: Africa Internet Accelerator achieves scalable eCommerce database operations with Severalnines ClusterControl

AIA - Customer Case Study

AIA, an eCommerce company builder and operator in South Africa, faced significant challenges with database scalability and management as their business grew rapidly. Their in-house, manually configured Galera Cluster experienced a major incident causing a split-brain scenario, which led to a loss of resources and revenue. They needed a management tool to provide operational insight and ensure high availability, leading them to the vendor Severalnines.

AIA implemented Severalnines' ClusterControl solution to automate configuration changes, node recovery, and updates to their Galera Cluster. This provided the team with critical real-time performance insight, allowing them to proactively manage database schema and target problematic queries. The solution, which integrated with their existing Puppet automation, restored stability and gave the operations team the tools needed to guarantee consistency and uptime for their mission-critical database infrastructure.
