UNRIVALED EXPERTISE
Having previously worked with these leading global companies, our talent brings valuable insights and expertise to deliver world-class outcomes.
WHY ORGANIZATIONS CHOOSE US
Discover the cutting-edge benefits our clients enjoy from the global Toptal network.
Toptal helps Calm achieve better production stability with EKS on AWS.
Challenge: The company behind the leading meditation app found itself in a decidedly noncalming situation when an outage had catastrophic consequences.
Solution: Toptal was able to immediately help Calm’s team build a new, fully automated cluster to be managed by Amazon Web Services (AWS), running under AWS’s new Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS).
Impact: Calm benefited from improved stability, reliable networking, and elimination of costly outages. In the months since, the company has been able to easily absorb significant revenue growth without performance issues.
Toptal’s work was a crucial milestone that enabled us to scale our engineering teams and systems in step with our rapid growth.
