Case Study: Futbol Club Barcelona achieves a scalable, elastic, and cost-efficient web platform with Amazon Web Services

Futbol Club Barcelona - Customer Case Study

Futbol Club Barcelona, working with IT provider Gnuine and its Ubiquo Sports SaaS CMS, needed a scalable, secure platform to manage SMS, e‑commerce, social media and mobile apps for a large, multilingual site while handling frequent traffic spikes. The key challenges were elasticity, provisioning, security and cost-efficiency for a content-rich platform serving multiple professional teams.

Gnuine ran Ubiquo Sports entirely on AWS, using Route 53, CloudFront, S3, EC2 with ELB and Auto Scaling, RDS, CloudFormation, CloudWatch, SNS, plus Varnish and Puppet for performance and management. The solution supports 6,000+ pages and 12,000 photos in six languages, enables one‑click infrastructure deployment, improves handling of peak traffic, reduces operational overhead and cuts costs through pay‑per‑use and spot‑instance opportunities.
