Case Study: Airheart achieves fast global scaling and lower API traffic with Stellate

Airheart cuts origin traffic by 65% with Stellate

Airheart, a collaborative group travel itinerary planning tool, faced a significant scaling challenge following its rapid launch during the pandemic. Their origin infrastructure could not handle the load from over 80,000 users, and they needed to scale quickly while keeping costs low without showing outdated travel information. They implemented the Stellate Edge Cache to solve this.

Stellate's solution drastically reduced the load on Airheart's origin, cutting overall API traffic by 20.5% and some complex queries by up to 97%. This resulted in a 40% reduction in infrastructure costs and provided users with super-fast 50ms response times globally. Stellate's instant purging also ensured users always saw the latest travel regulations.
