Case Study: Movietickets.com achieves 33% improved performance with Onica AWS migration

MovieTickets.com - Customer Case Study

MovieTickets.com, one of the world’s largest advance movie ticketing services, needed to migrate its customer-facing infrastructure to AWS in less than a month to handle sudden traffic surges from major film releases like *Star Wars: The Force Awakens*. The company turned to Onica for cloud infrastructure and cloud migration support to replace its on-premises environment with a scalable, highly available, PCI-compliant setup.

Onica designed, built, and repeatedly tested the new AWS environment, incrementally increasing load and running failure scenarios such as web server and database failures to ensure zero downtime. The result was a successful migration of 15 years of infrastructure in just 3 weeks, support for up to 1,000,000 requests per minute, and more than 33% improved performance while keeping the site faster and more responsive.
