Scaling an invoicing SaaS from zero to over 350k customers

Daniele Ratti, CEO @ Fatture in Cloud

Fatture in Cloud was born in late 2013 on a single-server machine and scaled from zero to 35k customers at the end of 2018.

In these 5 years, I’ve learned a lot about cloud architecture, scalability, optimization, DevOps, and we eventually achieved a 99,99% uptime even in the huge growth period.
