CASE STUDY
Lix Solves Cassandra, Postgres, and Elasticsearch Ops on Kubernetes to Build World’s Best Study Experience
Challenges
- Lix customers demand a fast, responsive platform to help them succeed with their studies
- Containers promised to offer an easier way to build a high quality platform, but only if it could provide a solution for running and managing data services like Elasticsearch, Cassandra, and Postgres
Solution
- Leverage Kubernetes to provide an environment that easily scales with the growth of the Lix platform
- Portworx Enterprise for cloud native storage and data management
Result
Portworx saved Lix time by allowing it to focus on creating the world’s best study platform and not managing storage. Portworx enabled Lix to achieve automation via containers without sacrificing performance. Portworx increased Lix’s operational efficiency by automatically handling common failures that occur in a dynamic server environment like server failures and network partitions, enabling them to focus on their customers
