Case Study: Change.org achieves zero-downtime DNS and CDN migration with TrackIt and AWS

Change.org migrates DNS and CDN to TrackIt with zero downtime and $2,000 monthly image delivery costs

Change.org, a global technology platform for petitions, relied on a third-party provider for DNS and CDN services, which limited their cost optimization and operational flexibility. Their challenge was to migrate these services to AWS with minimal risk to availability and performance while avoiding overlapping vendor costs.

TrackIt implemented a phased migration strategy using Amazon Route 53 for DNS and Amazon CloudFront for CDN. The solution included a custom image optimization system and a persistent "Penalty Box" security architecture. This resulted in zero downtime, the elimination of dual CDN costs, and a significant reduction in expenses, with image delivery costs dropping to approximately $2,000 per month.
