Case Study: Zalando achieves robust DDoS protection and faster, more reliable order fulfillment with Cloudflare Magic Transit

Zalando - Customer Case Study

Zalando is Europe’s leading online fashion platform, serving more than 46 million active customers across 23 countries and operating multiple fulfillment centers and retail outlets. With enterprise network links between warehouses, stores, and headquarters that are critical to order fulfillment, rising DDoS activity ahead of the holiday season posed a real risk of outages, fulfillment backlogs, and halted communications.

Zalando deployed Cloudflare Magic Transit to protect entire IP subnets, accelerate traffic, and offload routing to Cloudflare’s global network. The automated solution blocks roughly 200 potential attacks per week, provides traffic and availability analytics, and frees engineers from constant mitigation tasks. As a result, Zalando reduced the risk of order delays, improved network performance and availability, and preserved the company’s ability to scale while maintaining a high-quality customer experience.
