Case Study: Funky Pigeon achieves a peak-ready website launch with Keysight (Eggplant Services)

Eggplant Services Ensures Successful New Website Launch

Funky Pigeon, a UK market-leading online personalised greeting cards and gifts retailer, faced a major scalability challenge while building a new website that lets customers upload images to cards, mugs and apparel. To ensure the site could handle heavy seasonal demand and simultaneous uploads ahead of Christmas, Funky Pigeon engaged Keysight’s Eggplant Services Performance as a Service (PaaS) to validate concurrency, file-size limits, and page response times.

Keysight’s Eggplant Services delivered follow-the-sun load testing in the production environment, producing test scripts in three weeks and running 24/7 across teams in the UK, USA and Malaysia. The work uncovered and resolved hidden issues, gave real-time feedback outside office hours, enabled a 3x faster project completion, boosted stakeholder confidence at launch, and had a positive impact on holiday revenue.
