The Challenge
Protein World experienced massive traffic spikes during marketing campaigns and product launches. Their Magento 2 store would slow to a crawl under load, resulting in lost sales during their highest-traffic periods.
Our Solution
We rebuilt the infrastructure on AWS with auto-scaling, implemented Varnish full-page cache, optimized the database queries, and set up a global CDN. We also refactored critical checkout JavaScript.
The Results
The store became ready for campaign traffic: infrastructure that scales up for launches and back down afterwards, full-page caching in front of Magento, and a lighter checkout.
