Case Study: JoJo Maman Bébé achieves 40x faster performance with The Pixel

JoJo Maman Bébé speeds up checkout 40x with The Pixel

JoJo Maman Bébé, a nursery and maternity wear retailer, faced a challenge where traffic spikes were negatively impacting their site's commercial performance. Their existing queuing system led to longer customer wait times and higher drop-off rates. To address this, The Pixel used stress testing techniques and the BlazeMeter platform to identify the root cause of the performance issues.

The Pixel's solution involved debugging and editing the core database files to resolve MySQL deadlock and query cache locking errors. They implemented a system for the database to retry processing orders up to five times, which nearly eliminated the locking issues. This optimization made the database performance 40 times faster, leading to a 60% year-over-year revenue increase and a 46% rise in page views and users.
