Challenges
Green Shield Canada's realized that running its website on traditional servers was costing the company dearly as costs racked up even during idle time with no incoming requests. Plus, it was becoming too expensive for the company to scale to meet the increasing demands of its users, which caused issues and unexpected downtime.
Project Summary
Green Shield Canada was experiencing one of the biggest growing pains a website can suffer: the website was outgrowing its hosting platform. If the performance of a web host falters, it can impact the user experience, SEO rankings, and overall website performance.
GSC contacted Agility CMS to help them migrate its website to Netlify, thus reaping the benefits of the Jamstack approach while still maintaining their Agility CMS backend. By switching to Netlify, GSC now leverages the platform's serverless model, where you only pay for the exact amount of time your server-side code runs. Thanks to Netlify and Agility CMS, Green Shield Canada can now scale seamlessly and without constraints.
