Case Study: Turo streamlines infrastructure access and boosts developer productivity with Teleport

Turo streamlines infrastructure access in under 2 hours with Teleport

Turo, the world's largest peer-to-peer car-sharing marketplace, needed to quickly replace its legacy database access solution after its provider was acquired and scheduled for shutdown. The challenge was to find a secure, quick-to-deploy replacement that would improve the developer experience, strengthen security, and reduce friction for engineers accessing critical infrastructure. Facing a hard deadline, Turo turned to the vendor Teleport to implement a new access solution.

Teleport provided its Infrastructure Identity Platform, which enabled identity-first, Zero Trust access to Turo's databases. The deployment was rapid, taking under two hours to connect to their MySQL environments. The solution replaced static credentials with short-lived certificates, simplifying and securing access for developers. As a result, Turo streamlined its access workflows, improved operational efficiency through automated permissions, and established a platform for future expansion to other infrastructure like Kubernetes. Teleport successfully provided a foundation for secure and efficient engineering operations at Turo.
