Brownouts gone. 99.9% uptime. 75% less work to keep it running. The database that kept failing under load doesn't fail anymore.

A recruiting SaaS company was running a single-node Neo4j deployment that caused brownouts under load, required heavy manual maintenance, and lacked failover or monitoring. VeUP executed a zero-downtime migration to Neo4j AuraDB with automated failover, modern driver upgrades across Java, Python, and Node.js, and AWS Secrets Manager for credential management.
