Case Study: Frasca International brings flight simulation to the cloud with Solo.io

Frasca International - Customer Case Study

Frasca International, a company that has built flight simulators for over 60 years, faced the challenge of a pilot shortage and sought to modernize its tech stack and make flight training more accessible. To achieve this, the customer needed to leverage cloud-native practices and bridge the gap between their cloud and on-premises desktop software delivery. Solo.io worked with them using technologies including Kubernetes, Gloo, and Linkerd to help modernize their infrastructure.

The solution implemented by Solo.io involved using their Gloo API gateway and the Linkerd service mesh to help Frasca successfully transition its flight simulation software to a cloud-native environment on Azure AKS. This modernized approach allowed the company to bridge its cloud and desktop software delivery, making its flight training products more accessible. While specific metrics are not detailed, the result was a successful modernization of their tech stack to combat the pilot shortage.
