Case Study: ZIGBANG achieves accelerated business growth and scalable cloud image management with Akamai Technologies

ZIGBANG Accelerates Business Growth, Manages Images in the Cloud and Increases Productivity With Akamai Solutions

ZIGBANG is Korea’s leading mobile real-estate app—serving primarily singles in their 20s–30s—with over 12 million downloads, about 3 million property listings, and some 7,000 realtor members. Because high-quality property images are core to the service, ZIGBANG’s in‑house image‑conversion system struggled to scale to tens of millions of images, creating capacity, cost, and downtime risks and limiting the team’s ability to focus on product development.

ZIGBANG adopted Akamai’s Media Delivery, Web Performance, and Services & Support solutions to handle real‑time, cloud‑based image conversion, device‑optimized delivery, and watermarking for original assets. The solution improved scalability and reliability under high traffic, reduced the team’s image‑management and infrastructure workload, freed resources for faster feature development, and provided consistent operational support.
