Case Study: Spree achieves high availability and scalability for Magento with Severalnines

Spree - Customer Case Study

Spree, a leading South African online fashion retailer, experienced rapid growth that overwhelmed its single master MySQL database, causing it to drop traffic and lose revenue during peak periods. They needed a highly available and scalable database solution that was easy to manage without a dedicated DBA. They turned to Severalnines for a solution based on its ClusterControl product to manage a database cluster.

Severalnines implemented a highly available Percona XtraDB Cluster using Galera replication, which was quickly deployed and managed via ClusterControl. The solution provided automatic recovery from failures with zero data loss and required no schema changes to migrate. This resulted in a database layer that has run without issues for over a year, eliminating dropped traffic and downtime, allowing Spree's team to focus on other business areas instead of database management.
