Summary

Justuno, a Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) Platform provider, leveraged YugabyteDB to consolidate multiple databases, including Microsoft SQL Server, Cassandra, and CockroachDB. The company's original database was built on an on-premises SQL Server but grew to become a single point of failure as the customer base expanded. Justuno moved its profile system to Cassandra but found it unsuitable for large amounts of data per node. They then looked into migrating workloads from Microsoft SQL Server to CockroachDB before starting an initiative to rebuild their platform using cloud infrastructure, specifically Google Cloud. This led them to explore YugabyteDB as a high-performance and SQL feature-rich database that could handle massive reads and writes with low latency. With 12 nodes on GCP, Justuno achieved north of 20,000 ops per second while maintaining average latency of three milliseconds. The company consolidated its databases from five types to a single system, reducing costs and complexity. The Yugabyte Platform is an all-in-one solution with an intuitive interface that enables point-and-click administration. Justuno has formed a technical and business partnership with Yugabyte, which provides open-source features and more freedom and control.
