Case Study: Narvar achieves 4x lower TCO and zero downtime with YugabyteDB

Narvar achieves 4x lower TCO and zero downtime with YugabyteDB vs AWS DynamoDB & PostgreSQL RDS

Narvar, a B2B SaaS provider trusted by 650+ retailers, delivers unified, personalized post‑purchase experiences by combining document and relational data from order management, CRM, billing and fulfillment systems. Faced with skyrocketing AWS DynamoDB costs, the need to scale for Black Friday/Cyber Monday traffic, and customer/GDPR requirements for multi‑cloud and multi‑region deployments, Narvar turned to YugabyteDB, adopting a fully managed distributed SQL solution to avoid cloud lock‑in and reduce operational complexity.

YugabyteDB implemented a fully managed three‑node, multi‑AZ cluster (48 cores, 6 TB) to consolidate databases and caching, delivering 10K+ reads/s, 4K+ writes/s with <2 ms read and <10 ms write latencies. As a result, Narvar achieved 4x lower TCO versus AWS DynamoDB and PostgreSQL RDS, simplified operations, predictable cost per query, no service interruptions during traffic spikes, and the ability to support multi‑cloud deployments and migrate from AWS to GCP—all enabled by YugabyteDB.
