Production-Like Dev Environments in Minutes

Cut dev environment setup from days to minutes with block-level deduplication.

Reduce Environment Setup From Days to Minutes with Smart deduplication Storage Architecture.

Note: This is a use case example showing how Rediacc speeds up development work. We’re a startup with no paying customers yet, so treat this as a scenario we’ve designed the product for, not a finished case study.

The Problem

Mehmet runs DevOps at an e-commerce company. His team needs production-like environments for testing, staging, and development. Here’s why:

Where the old approach breaks down:

  • Setting up production-like environments takes hours or days
  • Developers wait for infrastructure provisioning to complete testing
  • Environment inconsistencies lead to “works on my machine” problems

Development cycles dragged because spinning up a new environment took days. That bottleneck:

  • Slowed development velocity significantly
  • Created dependencies and waiting times in the development pipeline

Crisis Impact

  • Storage costs became unsustainable for the IT budget
  • Backup windows exceeded available maintenance time
  • System performance degraded during backup operations
  • Risk of data loss increased due to incomplete backups

Rediacc Solution

Mehmet found Rediacc. With it:

Backup Diagram

Smart Backup Technology

  • Full backups appear to be taken, but only changed data is physically stored
  • For example, if there are average daily changes of 100 GB in a 10 TB database, the system records only those 100 GB
  • Backups work completely and seamlessly during restoration, even if stored as a single file

Key Advantages

1. Cost Savings

  • Even with 100 GB daily changes in a 10 TB database, the monthly storage cost is limited to ~3 TB (it was ~300 TB with the old system)

2. Works With Any Stack

  • Rediacc is not limited to SQL Server. It works compatibly with MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and all other databases
  • No need for separate know-how for different systems

3. Faster Cycles, Less Hardware

  • Backup time is reduced from hours to minutes
  • The load on disk and network resources decreases by 99.99% (depending on update ratio of the total data between snapshots)

Result

With Rediacc, the team:

  • Reduced storage costs by 99.99% (depending on update ratio of the total data between snapshots)
  • Standardized backup and restore processes
  • Met all its needs with a single solution for different database systems
