Case Study: Living Streets achieves faster, high-volume Travel Tracker performance with The Developer Society

Living Streets doubles Travel Tracker capacity to 140,000 daily registrations with The Developer Society

Living Streets, a UK charity focused on promoting walking, faced a significant challenge with their Travel Tracker tool, a key part of their Walk to School Challenge. The system was unable to handle peak traffic, crashing or slowing down when classrooms of children tried to use it simultaneously. They enlisted The Developer Society to rebuild the service to ensure reliability.

The Developer Society redesigned and rebuilt the Travel Tracker to withstand unusual traffic patterns and peak demand. The new system successfully launched, handling up to 140,000 daily registrations—a 100% increase in capacity. This allowed the tool to reliably motivate thousands of school children to adopt more active travel habits.
