Case Study: Multinational Consumer Goods Company achieves faster gaming performance and scalable infrastructure with CSS Corp

Implementing flexible infrastructure and optimizing database connections and queries for improved performance and enhanced agility

CSS Corp worked with a multinational consumer goods company that launched a global online ice-cream game campaign reaching more than 7 million players. As traffic surged, the site experienced slow responses, lag, and database performance issues caused by poorly tuned queries, missing indexes, and infrastructure strain on its AWS-hosted web and database servers.

CSS Corp optimized the database by adding missing indexes, addressing table fragmentation, tuning MySQL configuration, and implementing master-slave replication to reduce load on the primary server. The team also upgraded AWS EC2 capacity and provided ongoing production support, which improved performance, reduced complaints, enabled quick scaling with minimal downtime, and raised Defect Removal Efficiency from 65% to 80%.
