About Sky
Sky, Europe’s largest media company and TV broadcaster, uses Couchbase to keep compelling content available during peak demand for over 22 million subscribers. Frustrated with the scalability and performance limitations of their legacy Oracle RDBMS, Sky started its digital transformation by migrating its identity platform to Couchbase for full sign-up and sign-in functionality. This move reduced sign-in response time by 50% and had huge implications for disaster recovery, dropping the recovery time from hours to minutes.
