With Hetzner, we have a partner that not only offers performance, but also personal support. This is worth its weight in gold, especially with the growing requirements of our platform.

TutKit.com, the project at the heart of our agency 4eck Media, combines e-learning with creative assets and has established itself as a real success story. This is also demonstrated by two recent awards: Both our server provider Hetznerand the search engine Meilisearch have presented TutKit.com as a Customer Success Story.

Strong performance thanks to Hetzner: our server partner since 2015

Since the launch of TutKit.com in 2015, we have relied on Hetzner's cloud infrastructure. In a video interview, I, Managing Director Matthias Petri, was able to talk about our long-standing collaboration.

With four servers and two storage boxes, Hetzner ensures that our platform remains reliable and scalable at all times. The highlights:

  • Security through two-factor authentication: An essential feature for us and a clear criterion that convinces our customers.
  • One-click scalability: Thanks to Hetzner's rescale function, we can flexibly adapt our server performance to the growing traffic - a decisive advantage in our internationalization strategy with 26 language versions.
  • Monitoring and stability: With Hetzner, we haven't had any significant downtime in nine years - proof of the partner's reliability.

Fast and intelligent search: Meilisearch at the heart of the platform

Another central element of our platform is the search function, which is operated by Meilisearch. Our challenge: an efficient, multilingual search that manages over hundreds of thousands of contents in 26 languages.

After a problematic first search solution with long loading times and poor language support, we decided to develop the search ourselves - with Meilisearch as the basis.

Our milestones with Meilisearch:

  • Lightning-fast performance: millisecond-fast results ensure a seamless user experience.
  • Comprehensive multilingualism: The search works precisely and effectively in 26 languages - a decisive factor for our global reach.
  • Easy scaling: Even with content growing weekly, search remains powerful and user-friendly.

Our solution, how we use Meilisearch for our internationalization, was presented comprehensively in a blog article as a customer success story.

Meilisearch Customer Success Story

"A good search is the stage on which our content shines. Without Meilisearch, we would be just one platform among many - with average search results."

Why this recognition is important to us

The presentations at Hetzner and Meilisearch are not only an honor for us, but also a confirmation of our work. They show how important choosing the right partners is for the success of a platform.

Whether through Hetzner's reliable infrastructure or Meilisearch's powerful search technology, both partnerships contribute significantly to making TutKit.com a wide-reaching, internationally oriented platform for e-learning and creative assets.

Looking to the future

With ongoing internationalization, new content and growing user numbers, we are optimistic about the future. Hetzner and Meilisearch remain our strong partners to further expand the platform and provide our users with a first-class experience.
