The service of a courier delivery Dostavista works quicker with the help of a cloud Croc

2020: Choice of a cloud service

On December 15, 2020 Croc announced that the international courier company of Dostavista selected the Cloud of CROC as a basis for stability of the business and a fast response to changes in requests of clients. Based on a cloud platform of provider all infrastructure of the client, including the portal via which users of services of Dostavista do orders works now.

Dostavista adheres to the concept of Cloud First: since 2016 the company used resources of different cloud providers. Outsourcing as the development strategy is selected because of the need to reduce capital costs and to quickly scale resources as the seasonality is characteristic of business of the organization. On the eve of holidays, for example, on the eve of New year, the number of orders increases twice. Therefore, computing powers should increase in the same volume sharply.

Cloud resources — the unique and economically justified tool for Dostavista business. He allows us to adapt flexibly to the changing situation and to increase resources during the peak periods. Often it is difficult to predict resource requirement. In 2020 summer decrease of the activity was leveled by a pandemic because of which load of couriers remained at the high level. The cloud of CROC allowed us to adapt to this situation — Denis Krasnoper, the head of department of development of infrastructure of Dostavista told.

Infrastructure of the client is placed in two zones of the Cloud of CROC, one of which is the main platform, and the second — reserve. It allows to guarantee a high otkazouystoychivost and data availability in case of accidents. In addition Dostavista uses object storage S3 in the Cloud of CROC.

As practice shows, at the peak moments it is necessary to work urgently and to turn tens of virtual machines for an hour, otherwise service because of the increased loading will be unavailable to clients. It can be done only in a cloud. For this reason it is selected by the companies at which the seasonality is brightly expressed: retailers, logistic companies, development and construction and also number of online services — Maxim Berezin, the director of business development of CROC added Cloud services.
