From Static to Ephemeral Environments: How Flat Significantly Increase Development Velocity with Qovery

Flat Mx, a company revolutionizing the real estate sector in Mexico with advanced technology and comprehensive market data, faced significant challenges with their monolithic application and infrastructure bottlenecks, prompting an exploration for more efficient solutions. Initially relying on automation tools like Terraform, they eventually adopted Qovery, which offered ephemeral environments and seamless integration with existing tools like GitHub actions and Doppler, enhancing their development processes and team autonomy. The transition to Qovery resulted in improved release cycles, isolated testing environments, reduced infrastructure costs by around $1500 per month, and better configuration management. Flat Mx successfully migrated over 20 applications across safety and production environments, streamlining development and enhancing operational efficiency. Future goals for Flat Mx include expanding their real estate inventory in Mexico while maintaining quality, leveraging data capabilities, and potentially incorporating GPU processing support for advanced tasks, aiming to become a leading one-stop shop for real estate in the region.
