Case Study: Yao App reduces operations costs and scales its pharmacy platform with Alibaba Cloud

Yao App - Customer Case Study

Yao App is a mobile online-to-offline pocket pharmacy platform in China that connects users with drug stores and pharmacists. As it expanded to add more services and meet growing user demand, it needed a cost-effective, scalable, high-performing infrastructure. It chose Alibaba Cloud after evaluating other IaaS options.

Alibaba Cloud provided Elastic Compute Service, ApsaraDB for RDS, CloudMonitor, and Auto Scaling to support the platform’s architecture. The company said Alibaba Cloud helped build a reliable, available, and fault-tolerant environment, enabled quick recovery if a system failure occurred, and reduced operation and maintenance costs by almost 90%. Alibaba Cloud also helped ensure security and a consistent user experience across the country.
