Imperial Wealth is a one-stop platform for everything you need to learn, and capitalise on new-age markets; providing education, tools, and services in domains such as Betting (arbitrate, +EV, middles), Forex (commodities, stocks, forex), and Cryptocurrency (mining, DeFi, trading).

Why Airtable?

When Imperial Wealth was designing their platform, they knew they needed a platform that was versatile enough to enable them to response to market changes quickly, empower their development team to iterate quickly and allow their industry experts to deliver information quickly to clients as soon as it becomes available.

This is why they chose Airtable.

Airtable allows Imperial Wealth to stay one step ahead of their competition; focusing on delivering exceptional value to their clients, rather than dedicating precious resources to the management of platforms like Wordpress.

However, as they continued to grow, they ran into problems; and if you've used Airtable in production, you'll know them too - the API has a hard time scaling. On top of that, Airtable recently made a change that meant that you now can't host static files like images on their service and use it as a content delivery network.

This presented Imperial Wealth with quick a dilema - would they need to ditch Airtable and move to another platform? If so, which one? How many resources will they need to dedicate to this? How can they keep it reliable, fast, and allow their team to focus on product, not infrastructure?

Well, that's where Airproxy comes in.

☁️ Airproxy, to the rescue.

When we heard of Imperial Wealth's issues, we knew we could help. With a Business tier, Imperial Wealth could quickly sign up, setup a Personal Access Token and with a simple swap of their API endpoints, they were off to the races.

With their Business tier, they're able to:

  • Serve up to 20,000 users per month, globally,
  • Serve up to 500,000 requests per month, instantly,
  • Set custom Time-To-Live (TTL) settings on each table,
  • Protect their data, with APIs for each base, and
  • Serve all of their assets like images using a global CDN.

Our teams can now easily use the data they need to create great content for our users, and our developers can focus on other important tasks instead of optimizing our Airtable integration. Airproxy has been a game-changer for our business and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to unlock the full potential of Airtable's API.
