Case Study: Wish.com achieves scalable, reliable global shopping experience with CoreSite's hybrid data center infrastructure

Wish optimizes global shopping experience with hybrid infrastructure delivered by CoreSite.

Wish, a San Francisco–based e-commerce app that reached 119 million monthly users and ships over 2 million products per day, faced mounting scale, cost and availability challenges as its customer base exploded. Its initial all‑cloud deployment became costly and sometimes unavailable, while early on‑prem colo efforts introduced third‑party circuit failures and recurring outages—forcing Wish to find a more reliable, flexible infrastructure to preserve app availability and control costs.

Wish built a hybrid architecture in CoreSite’s Reston, VA campus using cage colocation, cross‑connects and direct cloud links to achieve predictable, high‑performance connectivity. The move improved resilience and low‑latency access (including better service to Europe), virtually eliminated monthly service interruptions (reduced network issues by 400%), stabilized app ratings and provided cost‑effective capacity to support continued growth.
