Case Study: PartyLite achieves PCI-compliant, high-availability AWS e-commerce migration in 30 days with Logicworks

PartyLite - Customer Case Study

PartyLite is the world’s #1 party-plan company, selling candles, holders, flameless fragrance, wax warmers and home décor across 21 countries through nearly 52,000 independent entrepreneurs and generating over $425M in annual sales. After their prior MSP abruptly ceased operations, a small in‑house IT team faced urgent needs to maintain uptime, meet strict PCI requirements, handle end‑of‑month and seasonal traffic spikes, and reduce latency for European customers whose production systems were hosted in Northern Virginia.

Logicworks migrated PartyLite to AWS and provided 24x7x365 NOC support, PCI best practices, infrastructure-as-code (CloudFormation, Puppet), multi‑AZ architecture, auto‑scaling, and a new EU (Ireland) deployment to reduce latency. The result: a zero‑downtime migration completed in 30 days, lower operational costs, faster time-to-operations, improved availability and compliance, better shopping performance for European users, and subsequent migrations of additional applications to AWS.
