The Challenge

A Fortune 500 retailer was struggling with their legacy on-premises infrastructure that couldn't handle the massive traffic spikes during Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and holiday seasons. Their existing setup resulted in frequent outages, slow page load times, and lost revenue during their most critical sales periods. The company needed a scalable, reliable solution that could handle 10x traffic increases while maintaining cost efficiency.
