“Where things stand today at 1WorldSync, from an infrastructure perspective, are night and day from where they were when I first started. One cannot measure the stability and peace of mind that CraftyPenguins has brought to 1WorldSync.

Perhaps the biggest compliment I can give is that when I state to either Engineering or DevOps that the CraftyPenguins team is looking into something and that this is their recommendation, there is no longer second guessing or pushback that there is a better solution; they know that what your team has explored every possible option and this is what is best for 1WorldSync.

The CraftyPenguins team are truly the unsung heroes of 1WorldSync.”

After connecting with Crafty Penguins through DigitalOcean’s customer service, Clint immediately felt the difference. “My initial conversation with them was amazing — it felt like 15 years of sleepless nights just melted away,” he says.

The Crafty Penguins team managed the migration with virtually zero downtime, enabling Clint to step away from day-to-day server management. Today, Plan to Eat runs staging and production environments powered by DigitalOcean Droplets, intentionally overpowered for peak reliability and speed. Backups are handled through Volumes detachable block storage, ensuring data integrity and quick recovery.

Crafty Penguins also developed a robust deployment process with seamless rollback capabilities, while DigitalOcean provides a dependable infrastructure backbone. In over two years since the migration, Plan to Eat has not experienced a single major outage — a marked improvement over previous AWS operations.

“There’s no single point of failure,” Clint notes. “When large companies on AWS face issues, our website keeps running smoothly — and that feels great.”

“They’ve transformed our computing infrastructure from a constant source of stress to a pillar of reliability. As a SaaS business owner, I’ve come to realize that it’s not just about having an application, it’s about having a supported infrastructure that’s continually operational, secure, and efficient. That’s where Crafty Penguins comes in.

Before partnering with them, server downtimes and unexpected server hitches were a recurring nightmare. Every glitch, every momentary lapse, wasn’t just a technical hiccup—it was a disruption to our service, our reputation, and our peace of mind.

Enter the team at Crafty Penguins. With their round-the-clock monitoring and their team of dedicated engineers, they’ve transformed our computing infrastructure from a constant source of stress to a pillar of reliability. They aren’t just “there” when things go wrong—they’re always a step ahead, preemptively addressing potential issues and responding with lightning speed when intervention is needed.

Their dedication and expertise have given me something invaluable: confidence. Confidence to focus on expanding my business, confidence in the knowledge that our systems are in the best hands, and above all, the confidence to sleep soundly at night, ensuring our digital operations run seamlessly.”
