Olympique de Marseille supports a growing fanbase with new projects built on Upsun

Olympique de Marseille, a prominent French football club with a vast fanbase, faced the challenge of developing, testing, deploying, and scaling two critical digital applications in a short timeframe, using various programming languages. They turned to Upsun, a managed hosting provider, to streamline their development processes by creating individual development environments that replicated production, simplifying deployment and ensuring scalability. The successful implementation of Upsun allowed for the generation of separate repositories that facilitated smoother simultaneous deployment and improved monitoring and troubleshooting through Blackfire observability. Jessy Hanzo, head of the digital team, found Upsun's support and ease of use instrumental, especially in managing the sudden traffic surges experienced during football matches. The transition to MongoDB for enhanced data tracking capabilities and the deployment of new initiatives like OM Connect and Top Bar further underscored Upsun's role in handling Marseille's digital demands efficiently, ensuring speed, scalability, and a seamless fan experience.
