Background

We were approached by a large retail company that was struggling to keep up with the demand for their online store. They had experienced significant growth in the past year, but their website was not equipped to handle the increased traffic and sales. As a result, customers were experiencing slow load times, error messages, and difficulty completing purchases. This was leading to lost revenue and a poor customer experience.

Problem

The main problem was that the website infrastructure was not scalable enough to handle the increased traffic and sales volume. The codebase was outdated and difficult to maintain, which made it challenging to implement new features or fix bugs quickly. Additionally, there were no automated testing processes in place, which meant that issues often went unnoticed until they impacted customers.

Solution

We worked closely with the client to develop a plan for upgrading their website infrastructure. First, we migrated their site to a more robust hosting provider that could handle higher traffic volumes. We also implemented automated testing processes so that any issues could be caught before they impacted customers. Finally, we updated the codebase using modern development practices and added new features that would improve the customer experience.
