Case Study: Spree achieves high availability and scalable eCommerce with Severalnines ClusterControl

Spree deploys high-availability MySQL in 40 minutes with Severalnines

Spree, a leading South African online fashion retailer, faced a major challenge with their Magento eCommerce platform's database. Their initial active-passive MySQL setup could not handle the rapid growth in traffic, leading to dropped connections, lost revenue, and a lack of high availability. Without a dedicated DBA, they needed a cost-effective and easily manageable solution from a vendor to ensure 24/7 uptime and seamless scalability.

Severalnines provided the solution with its ClusterControl product to deploy and manage a Galera Cluster. The implementation was fast and straightforward, requiring no schema changes. The result was a highly available, multi-master database system that eliminated downtime and data loss, even under extreme traffic. This allowed Spree to stop dropping traffic, achieve significant performance gains, and focus their efforts on other business areas.
