CitNOW migrated their MySQL databases to AWS Aurora, benefitting from streamlined operations, improved reliability and security as well as cost savings.
About CitNOW
CitNOW arguably founded the automotive video industry in 2008, when they developed a video-based app to solve the challenge of allowing people to view cars without visiting car showrooms.
Their first customer was BMW, and they now work with over 43 car manufacturers - helping them get their products in front of their customers in what is traditionally a very hands-on buying process.
Why they chose Cloudsoft
As demand for remote services grew in 2020, CitNOW wanted to invest in the reliability of their systems and chose to migrate their MySQL databases to AWS Aurora and concurrently modernise their workloads.
Cloudsoft's experienced cloud architects and engineers helped us accelerate our migration and modernisation project, resulting in simplified operations, improved reliability and security, and reduced costs.
Cloudsoft's cloud expertise complemented the domain expertise of our team, and helped us establish a strong cloud foundation following best practices. I'd strongly recommend Cloudsoft as a partner.

- assess your applications and workloads;
- migrate your workloads from on-premises to AWS;
- work with you to operate and evolve your workloads to be more cloud native over time.
