Case Study: Instant Gaming achieves automated MySQL failover and higher uptime with Severalnines ClusterControl

Instant-Gaming - Customer Case Study

Instant-Gaming, a leading e-commerce distributor of video games, faced challenges with database downtime due to manual MySQL failover. During network outages or maintenance, this process could leave their service unavailable for 10-15 minutes, directly impacting their revenue. Their IT team, led by Jérémie Bordier, sought an automated solution to improve stability without incurring the high costs of outsourcing or migrating to a fully managed cloud service like Amazon RDS.

They implemented the Severalnines ClusterControl platform to automate MySQL replication failover across multiple data centers. The solution provided support for their Docker environment and integrated cloud backups with AWS S3. As a result, Instant-Gaming eliminated prolonged downtime during a datacenter outage, made maintenance operations easier, and achieved improved reliability. The Severalnines solution provided these critical automated failover capabilities without the significant cost increase associated with other cloud options they evaluated.
