HMP Global's PaaS journey: from weekly outages to 99.99% uptime

HMP Global, a global events and publishing company in the healthcare industry, transitioned to using Upsun's Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) to improve the management of over 150 globally distributed websites, particularly for their virtual and hybrid events. By implementing Upsun, they enhanced their development processes with continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), quality assurance (QA), and user acceptance testing (UAT), leading to a 200% improvement in application stability and an increase in uptime from 99.95% to 99.99%. The collaboration with Lando, an open-source platform for managing local development environments, allowed HMP Global to streamline their workflows by enabling developers to create local environments that perfectly replicate production sites, thus reducing the time spent on onboarding and troubleshooting. The shift to Upsun also facilitated the creation of testing branches for each change, enhancing the quality and stability of their websites. As a result, the development team now experiences fewer outages and can focus more on delivering reliable performance, with all downtime being related to planned deployments.
