Case Study: My Navy Portal achieves 40,000-user scalability and FedRAMP certification with Liferay

Exceptional Performance Boosts User Satisfaction

My Navy Portal, run by the U.S. Navy’s Sea Warrior Program Office, needed to replace a patchwork of legacy portals with a single, modern intranet that could serve the entire Navy (up to 870,000 potential users). The existing multi-system architecture failed on performance and user experience and had to meet strict Navy/Marine Corps intranet and FedRAMP security requirements.

Team Katmai rewrote and re-architected the site on the Liferay platform and deployed it in AWS GovCloud, achieving FedRAMP certification. The rebuilt portal delivers role-based personalized homepages, lets administrators manage content independently, sustained spikes of 40,000 simultaneous sign‑ons within ten minutes (with plans to scale higher), boosted user satisfaction, and earned a DoD CIO award.
