Vodafone Spain serves over 14 million mobile customers and 3 million fixed-service customers, sending them thousands of emails, hundreds of thousands of push notifications, and millions of SMS messages over the course of a year. In order to eliminate unnecessary and redundant communications, Vodafone created a unified platform that manages all communications across all departments and personalizes the communication methods according to each customer’s preferences. Couchbase on Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides Vodafone Spain with the data security they require to be GDPR compliant and the flexibility to scale on demand.
“Couchbase provides blazing speed thanks to its in-memory processing. Its scalability is easy to manage. And Couchbase’s auto-failover raises a replica without losing data if a node fails.”
