Case Study: Figure Eight achieves 99.99% uptime and one-day microservice delivery with Squadex cloud architecture

A Squadex Case Study

Preview of the Figure Eight Case Study

Figure Eight (former CrowdFlower) transitioned from a monolithic to a Microservice Cloud Architecture with cloud expertise from Squadex

Squadex helped Figure Eight, the essential human-in-the-loop AI platform for data science, overcome the challenges of its monolithic application. This legacy architecture caused scalability issues, hindered operational agility, and made it difficult to manage, preventing the company from deploying changes quickly.

The solution involved Squadex redesigning, Dockerizing, and deploying all legacy applications onto Amazon ECS. This standardized microservices infrastructure allowed Figure Eight to decompose its monolith into over 50 independent services. As a result, Squadex enabled the platform to achieve 99.99% uptime, scale horizontally, and radically reduce the time to deliver a new microservice to just one day.
