Case Study: SportPesa reduces database downtime and boosts performance with Severalnines ClusterControl

SportPesa handles 6 million queries per second with Severalnines

SportPesa, Africa's top sports betting platform, faced a significant challenge in handling enormous and rapidly growing database traffic, which peaked at six million queries per second. This high volume caused system instability and downtime, risking lost revenue and user frustration. To address this, they turned to Severalnines and their product ClusterControl for a solution.

By implementing Severalnines' ClusterControl, SportPesa was able to optimize their MySQL Cluster configurations, automate database operations, and distribute data across multiple clusters and data centers. This provided a unified view of their infrastructure and reliable performance monitoring. The solution brought the situation under control, allowing SportPesa's business to continue scaling constantly to meet new peaks and support its expansion into new regions.
