Cloudinary and Netlify Deliver a Performant, Sleek Site for the Hospitality Industry

Maistra, a leading tourist company in Croatia, migrated their slow and monolithic PHP application to a new site built on a stack of Netlify, Hugo, Cloudinary, and Vue JS. The result was a 25% faster site with improved Google speed test scores, despite having high numbers of images and videos. This was achieved through the use of best-of-breed microservices such as Algolia for search, Azure B2C for authentication, and VueJS for their JavaScript framework. The new architecture enabled developers to select tools that fit each service, allowing them to integrate legacy technology alongside new ones via a composable architecture. Netlify's CI/CD tools also played a crucial role in enabling a noOps approach to development, with unlimited identical code environments created easily through branches and informing Netlify to build and server these additional branches.
