About Macrometa

Macrometa is a globally distributed Edge computing platform that puts the “real-time” into managing and processing real-time data. The proprietary serverless architecture and globally distributed, low-latency server network mean it has never been easier to deploy real-time applications and APIs.

The Challenge

Macrometa’s customers rely on PhotonIQ, their AI-powered web performance platform, to improve SEO, Core Web Vitals, and site reliability. However, many clients struggled with performance bottlenecks in dynamic pre-rendering and had difficulties integrating PhotonIQ pipelines with their existing infrastructures. These issues slowed adoption, limited the platform’s impact, and risked undermining business outcomes like search visibility and conversion rates.

How We Helped

Knowing Macrometa’s architecture and current support challenges helped the two leadership teams quickly map out a growth plan for the new team.

The next step was building the team. People with a solid technical and support background feel comfortable using the latest advancements in the Edge Computing space. But also mindful of what it means to deliver bespoke support & customer experience with every interaction.

Macrometa also looked at BlueGrid.io to help set up a 24/7 rotation schedule, have proper coverage, and keep a healthy work-life balance for the team. To stay on track and support Macrometa’s growth, we had to make sure that the team is truly scalable, measuring against Macrometa’s growth pace.
