Cloud Migration Enables 10x Scale for Fast-Growing E-Commerce Platform
Client: Major E-Commerce Platform
The Challenge
A rapidly growing e-commerce platform with 50 million registered users was hitting infrastructure capacity limits during peak sale events. Two consecutive Diwali sales resulted in platform outages that cost the company over Rs. 3 crore in lost revenue and significant brand damage. Their on-premises infrastructure could not scale fast enough to meet 20x traffic spikes, and their engineering team lacked cloud expertise.
- —Platform outages during Diwali 2023 and Diwali 2024 sale events
- —On-premises infrastructure unable to scale for 20x traffic spikes
- —Manual scaling requiring 48 hours lead time
- —Internal engineering team lacked cloud migration expertise
- —Payment gateway integration creating single points of failure
