Case Study: OfferUp achieves faster scaling and developer self-service with Solo.io's Solo Enterprise for kgateway

OfferUp launches new verticals in 6 months with Solo.io

OfferUp, a growing eCommerce marketplace, faced challenges scaling its monolithic infrastructure as it expanded beyond peer-to-peer transactions. Their Cloud Engineering team was burdened with manual, resource-intensive operations, which slowed down the deployment of new features. To modernize their platform, OfferUp sought a cloud-native solution from vendor Solo.io to enable developer self-service and reduce operational overhead.

By implementing Solo.io's Enterprise for kgateway on Kubernetes, OfferUp achieved a robust, cloud-native architecture. The solution provided granular configuration control, canary rollouts, and zero-downtime updates. This empowered developers, reduced operational time from 80% to 40%, and allowed the rollout of multiple new features in just six months. Solo.io's product provided a foundation for seamless scaling and increased innovation.
