The Challenge

Our client, a major fashion retailer, struggled with scaling their infrastructure during peak sales events. Previous years saw significant downtime.

Our Approach

  1. Audit: We conducted a thorough performance audit.
  2. Architecture: Decoupled the checkout process from the browsing experience.
  3. Caching: Implemented Edge caching for static assets and product data.

Results

The solution handled over 100k concurrent users with zero downtime.
