The challenge

Campspot provides property-management systems and a booking portal used by over 2,700 campgrounds. Running on AWS MWAA, it hit scalability and flexibility limits as data operations expanded, needing more tailored configurations and isolated environments.

The solution

Campspot migrated to Astronomer's Astro platform, completing the transition within a two-week sprint and deploying via a GitHub Actions pipeline.

Astro emerged as a better fit for our long-term goals, offering the kind of scalable environment and dedicated support we needed.
