A travel startup specialising in luxury hotel stays at heavily discounted rates, Secret Escapes is a ‘members only’ holiday deals website that reached £75 million turnover last year, a rapid rise since its beginnings in 2010.
Secret Escapes needed to be able to scale seamlessly on demand, requiring cloud based hosting so that their capacity could burst even in the face of dramatic traffic spikes. Initially they had looked at hosting on Amazon Web Services, but found that it didn’t work for them due to unresolved latency issues. Prime-time television advertising and different geographic regions increased this need for scalability.
