Customer Success Story : MEE6

Scaleway Dedibox allows us to keep our infrastructure costs 10x lower than with mainstream Cloud providers.

About the company

MEE6 is a comprehensive, easy-to-use Discord bot trusted by over 21 million Discord servers worldwide to manage, entertain and grow their communities. It offers a host of features, including automated moderation, a leveling system with rewards to boost engagement, and custom commands for personalized interactions. MEE6 also enables automatic ads, music playback and notifications for platforms such as Twitch and YouTube.

Challenges

MEE6 currently manages over 21 million Discord communities, some with hundreds of thousands of members. To respond to user activity in real time, the bot must process up to 700,000 Discord events per second. This massive volume of data and events presents a major technical challenge: maintaining optimal performance while controlling infrastructure costs. MEE6 therefore required a highly optimized architecture and state-of-the-art infrastructure capable of handling this heavy load, while minimizing expenditure. The challenge was to efficiently manage such a high data flow, guarantee ultra-fast response times and maintain scalability to cope with the continuing growth of communities, while keeping operating costs under control.

Results

After migrating its infrastructure to Scaleway, MEE6 could operate 120 physical servers, taking full advantage of a more efficient, scalable and cost-effective infrastructure. This migration has given them greater control over their resources and operating costs, enabling better management and optimization of performance. By migrating to Scaleway Dedibox, MEE6 has managed to cut its infrastructure costs by a factor of 10, enabling it to achieve significant cost savings for millions of Discord communities.

Future Plans

MEE6 is focused on continued innovation and expansion in key markets such as AI, gaming and entertainment. In AI, the company plans to use artificial intelligence to improve moderation, offer personalized content and provide advanced analytics for better community management. The company is also exploring opportunities in the entertainment field, to offer content creators new ways of interacting with their audiences.
