DRT Solutions improves compliance posture and ensures high-availability of critical MariaDB clusters with CCX
As regulatory requirements evolve and become more complex, growing tech companies must adapt. For DRT Solutions, maintaining seamless database uptime while adhering to Swedish and EU data residency laws was non-negotiable. Downtime posed significant risks, and managing database clusters manually only added complexity and potential compliance vulnerabilities. By adopting Severalnines’ CCX, DRT Solutions simplified compliance management and eliminated the burden of database maintenance.
Background
DRT Solutions, a Swedish software provider, is redefining demand-responsive transport (DRT) with its innovative cloud-based platform, Drip. Designed for real-time adaptability, Drip delivers customized interfaces for passengers, drivers, and operators – optimizing critical mobility services such as paratransit, medical, and school transport.
In addition, DRT Solutions offers end-to-end operational support, including call handling, traffic management, and administrative services, ensuring smooth transit experiences. With real-time adaptability at the core of their offerings, ensuring maximum uptime is crucial to maintaining seamless operations and meeting dynamic market demands.
Challenge
Handling sensitive transportation data, DRT Solutions required a reliable DBaaS that met Swedish and EU regulatory standards. Their initial setup combined Azure and self-hosted solutions, but Azure failed to meet their strict data residency requirements – keeping all data within Swedish borders was non-negotiable.
Beyond compliance, they sought a database partner that struck the right balance: robust enough to deliver a high-performance infrastructure yet agile enough to provide guidance and support.
“We needed a partner that provided a managed database service while keeping our data within Sweden for compliance reasons. With Severalnines, we get the best of both worlds – a reliable, secure database solution and direct access to knowledgeable support” – Stefan Olofsson, CTO.
Solution
DRT Solutions discovered Severalnines through their infrastructure provider, Safespring. Since DRT Solutions relies on Safespring, finding a database solution that integrates with this ecosystem was essential.
Severalnines’s CCX emerged as the ideal DBaaS solution, offering:
- Seamless Integration – CCX worked effortlessly with Safespring, ensuring a smooth transition.

“With Severalnines, we no longer worry about database downtime. Their proactive monitoring and automated failover ensure that our systems remain highly available, giving us peace of mind and allowing us to focus on growing our business.” – Stefan Olofsson, CTO.
