About Shiftmanager

The Shiftmanager team wants to create a sustainable working world in which everyone can decide for himself where in the world, for whom and when they want to work.
The Challenge
Shiftmanager is for us a typical SaaS organization that has grown from start-up to a scale-up organization with all the challenges that entails along the way. Shiftmanager, started on a small scale in 2014 where the goal is to grow over the years – both with its own development and infrastructure. The challenge was therefore to establish a good basis with a scalable infrastructure as a starting point that can grow with the needs of Shiftmanager. For this, continuous consultation is of great importance, Shiftmanager and LinQhost have found an excellence mode in this.
The Solution
Like many SaaS solutions, Shiftmanager also started with a high performance (HPW) solution (managed hosting) at LinQhost. Once a considerable growth has started, the need arose to be more scalable and to respond to (temporary) peaks that the application had to deal with. Shiftmanager develops its application based on the Symphony framework, something that LinQhost can assist in based on its expertise.
We have designed a MySQL (MariaDB) database cluster for Shiftmanager, manage it and maintain various web server solutions based on HPW and Plesk server according to the needs of the software.
