With Hetzner, we have a partner who not only provides performance but also personal support. Especially with the growing demands of our platform, this is invaluable.
Twice as good: We as a Customer Success Story at Hetzner and Meilisearch
TutKit.com, the passion project of our agency 4eck Media, combines e-learning with creative assets and has established itself as a true success story. This is also evidenced by two recent awards: Both our server provider Hetzner and 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, had the opportunity to discuss 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.
- Scalability with a click: Thanks to Hetzner’s Rescale feature, we can flexibly adjust our server performance to the growing traffic – a crucial advantage in our internationalization strategy with 26 language versions.
- Monitoring and Stability: With Hetzner, we have not experienced any significant outages in nine years – a testament to the reliability of the partner.

Fast and intelligent search: Meilisearch as the core of the platform
Another central element of our platform is the search function powered by Meilisearch. Our challenge: an efficient, multilingual search managing hundreds of thousands of content in 26 languages.
After a problematic initial search solution with long loading times and poor language support, we decided to develop the search ourselves – using Meilisearch as the foundation.
Our milestones with Meilisearch:
- Blazing fast performance: Millisecond-speed results ensure a seamless user experience.
- Comprehensive multilingualism: The search works precisely and effectively in 26 languages – a crucial factor for our global reach.
- Simple scaling: Even with weekly growing content, the search remains powerful and user-friendly.
Our solution for how we use Meilisearch for our internationalization has been thoroughly presented in a blog post as a Customer Success Story.
“A good search is the stage where our content shines. Without Meilisearch, we would just be a 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 demonstrate how important the choice of 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 high-reach, internationally oriented platform for e-learning and creative assets today.
Glimpse into the future
With ongoing internationalization, new content, and growing user numbers, we look forward with optimism. Hetzner and Meilisearch remain our strong partners to further develop the platform and provide our users with a top-notch experience.
