EEDAR provides analytics and business intelligence for the video game industry. It needed to accelerate its Cloud SQL Server application to update and analyze gigabytes of data across customer servers daily. EEDAR installed SafePeak, which acted as a caching proxy between application servers and SQL Server. This reduced database load by 90% on average and 95% during peaks, improving response times for dashboards and analytics from seconds to milliseconds while maintaining SLAs.
