Max Burgers: From Container Chaos to Container Harmony
We had a big problem at Max Burgers: our basic cloud container setup kept crashing under heavy load. We weren't delivering insights on time, and we needed something better.
We tried the big enterprise platforms. The setup was more complicated than we had hoped for, maintenance ate up all our time, and the learning curve was brutal. We were spending time fighting the platform that we'd rather use to work with our data.
Finally, we found Snowpark Container Services. After migrating, we now get the performance we need without the headache. We're spending less on infrastructure and our developers can focus on building instead of dealing with crashing containers.
I'll walk you through what we've learned. Which architectural choices worked, how we split workloads across clusters, and how we handled orchestration. If you're dealing with similar container headaches or trying to figure out your data ops strategy, perhaps our learnings can save you some time.
