From this data Narvar creates a unified view of the customer and order for the retailer.

Challenges
- Retail customers required a multi-cloud solution
- Skyrocketing AWS DynamoDB costs
- Challenging to scale on demand to handle Black Friday and Cyber Monday volume
- GDPR compliance required a multi-region solution
It was easy for our developers to get started with YugabyteDB using the distributed SQL APIs. YugabyteDB eliminated the need for a separate cache and multiple databases, allowing us to roll-out new features a lot quicker.
Yugabyte helped Narvar avoid cloud lock-in, stay GDPR compliant and save money in the process. Partnering with Yugabyte helps us focus on our customers instead of worrying if our systems can keep pace with our rapidly growing business.
