Matterport: Autoscaling to meet peak demand with amazee.io support

When Matterport re-platformed its website on Drupal, it sought a hosting partner with the expertise and flexibility to meet its unique requirements. As the leading spatial data company, Matterport enables its customers to capture 3D images of physical spaces such as houses and buildings to provide interactive online tours and walkthroughs. With the global shift towards moving more and more customer experiences online, especially during COVID-19, demand for Mattterport’s services has never been greater, and its website traffic has reflected this growth. With each peak in traffic and pageviews, amazee.io has been by Matterport’s side to ensure their website’s availability and performance remain maximal.  

Challenge: Support Matterport’s re-platforming on Drupal with containerized hosting

amazee.io was recommended to Matterport by their web agency, Hook42, because matterport.com required special configurations, and the team wanted to leverage Docker and Kubernetes in their technical architecture. Concerned about data protection and GDPR compliance, Lagoon’s built-in security features gave the team at Matterport the peace of mind they needed. 

Internally, Matterport’s development team was tasked with learning how to maintain and support the new Drupal site post-launch. Having a hosting partner that could guide them along the way has been critical to their success. amazee.io reliably and expertly helped their internal development team successfully manage their Drupal builds and deployments. 

Solution: High availability managed Lagoon cloud hosting with professional support by amazee.io

Matterport Platform Engineer Justin Mauslein describes his experience with amazee.io and Lagoon as “set it and forget it”—all he needs to do is push his code from GitHub, and Lagoon will take care of the rest. For development teams that don’t want to worry about systems maintenance and engineering, amazee.io and Lagoon streamline their workflows and allow them to focus on continuous delivery instead of infrastructure upkeep.

One of the aspects the Matterport team most appreciates about using Lagoon is its positive impact on their development and testing cycles, specifically:

• The speed and ease of creating new test environments from pull requests
• Being able to use production data during local development
• The seamless orchestration of everything required for a successful build
