About the project

Baserow encountered limitations with their previous hosting provider's Postgres service. They are now utilizing the comprehensive features of AWS RDS Aurora.

Through our collaboration, significant infrastructure challenges have been resolved for Baserow, particularly in scaling and disaster recovery. These improvements have enhanced system resilience and operational continuity. Furthermore, the platform's security posture has been strengthened with new measures to mitigate vulnerabilities and bolster data protection. Our teams work closely together, using Slack for communication to effective problem resolution. We also hold weekly stand-up meetings to discuss emerging issues and monitor overall project progress.

Blackbird has become an essential extension of our team, managing our AWS setup and Helm charts for our self-hosted offering. They've also been instrumental in helping our customers succeed with self-hosting, backed by their 24/7 availability and solution-driven support.
