Case Study: Toronto International Film Festival achieves scalable web performance with Scalar Decisions and AWS Cloud

AWS Cloud Resolves Web Traffic Peaks & Valleys for TIFF

Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) was facing serious website performance and scalability issues, especially ahead of its high-traffic festival season when visitors from around the world come for schedules and ticket sales. To solve the problem in a compressed timeframe, TIFF worked with Scalar Decisions to migrate the tiff.net website to AWS Cloud.

Scalar Decisions helped TIFF rapidly design and build the new website infrastructure on AWS, pivoting quickly when the initial architecture needed to change. The result was a cloud-based platform positioned to handle traffic spikes more effectively, while also reducing the need for TIFF to buy and idle hardware each year. The move gave TIFF greater flexibility, lower operating costs, and a better foundation for future application migrations.
