Case Study Egoditor
(now Bit.ly)

Upgrading the tech infrastructure for a winning SaaS player

Egoditor (now Bit.ly Europe) was looking for a quicker and more efficient way to leverage its market position.
They chose Zeile7 — an expert in end2end digitalisation and software engineering — to shift to a lean & nimble tech platform. The goals were efficiency and higher throughput.

Key Challenges

No matter how simple or advanced your QR Code needs, Egoditor (now Bit.ly) has you covered. We wanted to modernise and upgrade their existing tech infrastructure to match their market position. The goal was to unlock scale for the product, which was already successful on the market.

Results

We increased the deployment speed, decreased the errors, and cut costs.

The introduction of unit and end-to-end testing helped increase the confidence level of the team and improved coordination.

Overall, changing the deployment process resulted in deployments without outages.

The whole infrastructure scaled from 5 million ARR to 70 million ARR while only doubling the operational costs because of increased traffic.
