Overview
An e-commerce business needed its platform to stay available and responsive through high-traffic sales events such as Black Friday, without permanently over-provisioning infrastructure.
The challenge
- Traffic during sales events was many times higher than normal.
- Infrastructure costs were high outside of peak periods.
- Slow pages during peaks risked lost orders.
Our solution
- Cloud-native infrastructure that scales with demand.
- CDN and caching strategy for catalogue and static content.
- Load testing ahead of known peak events.
Implementation
- Capacity was planned around expected peak events.
- Caching rules were tuned per content type.
Results
Verified results will be published here once confirmed with the client.
