Built For Speed & Robustness

So you can trust your auction will run smoothly!

Best Practices For The Best Experience

You have enough on your mind when organizing your online auction, the last thing you want to worry about is the technology! Rest assured that we’ve got that covered, with some highlights in how outlined below.

Monitored, Load Balanced Servers

We have monitoring software installed on all our servers so we can keep an eye on performance, and jump in if we ever need to. 

Load balancing means that there is no single point of failure, and processing can be distributed across an arbitrary number of server instances, so we can easily scale up as needed.

Replicated Database

Our database is replicated with standby nodes for near real-time backup and failover, and end to end encryption.

Distributed Caching

Rather than needing to go read data out of the database, we use caching for lightning fast data retrieval, ensure a responsive experience even during heavy bidding!

Cloud Hosted for Robustness

We’re a software company, not a hardware company, so we leave the hardware to the experts. Digital Ocean is one of the largest providers of cloud hosted infrastructure, and they cross the t’s and dot the i’s on everything
