Challenge: Calm’s existing Kubernetes infrastructure became a source of operational risk as the company scaled. Following a significant outage, the company needed a more reliable platform that could support ongoing growth without compromising stability.

Outcome: 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.
