01The problem

The website crashed on the biggest sales day, three years in a row.

02Why it was hard

The business couldn't stop selling while we fixed it.

We moved the store to modern cloud services piece by piece, then tested it at five times normal traffic.

04The result

Record sales, zero downtime and a smaller cloud bill.
