Case Study
Reducing Latency and Cloud Costs with Akamai Connected Cloud
Harper partnered with Akamai Connected Cloud to build a globally distributed application platform that delivers near-zero latency while lowering infrastructure costs for customers. Combining database, API, and application logic into a single platform, Harper enables organizations to replicate data globally and process workloads closer to end users. After evaluating traditional cloud providers, Harper selected Akamai for its massively distributed architecture, developer-friendly platform, predictable pricing, and ease of deployment. The partnership produced measurable results, including latency reductions of more than 100 milliseconds, a 200% improvement in overall query speed, and infrastructure cost reductions of up to 70% for some customers.
