Case Study: Chatra cuts time to market by 2 months and saves $10K with Uploadcare

Chatra saves $10K and cuts time to market by 2 months with Uploadcare

Chatra, a live chat software company, faced the challenge of building and maintaining a file-handling infrastructure for its application without diverting significant developer resources from its core product. With a small team, they needed a reliable, scalable, and user-friendly solution to handle features like user avatars and file transfers. To avoid spending two months and $10K on an in-house system, they turned to vendor Uploadcare for its ready-made file handling service.

By integrating Uploadcare's File Uploader, Chatra implemented the necessary functionality in just over a day for user avatars and later for file transfers. This solution saved the company an estimated $10,000 in initial development costs and reduced their time to market by two months. Uploadcare's maintenance-free infrastructure also eliminated ongoing support burdens, allowing Chatra's small support team of three to effectively serve 40,000 active users.
