Case Study: KickBack Rewards Systems achieves on-prem database automation and higher availability with Severalnines ClusterControl

KickBack Rewards Systems - Customer Case Study

KickBack Rewards Systems, a retail loyalty program provider, was challenged by the inefficiency of managing its on-premise databases with a plethora of time-consuming, home-grown scripts. This manual maintenance was a major drain on engineering resources and limited the team's ability to focus on higher-value work. They needed a solution to automate their open source database operations without moving entirely to the cloud.

The vendor Severalnines implemented its ClusterControl platform, which provided a single pane of glass for automated management, monitoring, and disaster recovery. This solution dramatically improved the team's productivity by eliminating script maintenance and enhanced system uptime with superior automated failovers. Severalnines' tool also supported their existing open source technologies, allowing for a smooth transition and a live switch to a more optimal MySQL replication cluster architecture.
