Case Study: a national restaurant chain achieves peak-hour app performance confidence with Speedscale

National Restaurant Chain boosts peak-hour confidence with Speedscale as traffic hits 300,000 requests per minute

A national restaurant chain faced significant challenges in ensuring the performance and stability of its digital platform, especially during peak traffic surges of 300,000 requests per minute. With a complex Kubernetes environment and many third-party integrations, their engineering teams lacked a consistent and scalable way to test code changes before production, which led to incidents impacting business operations. They turned to Speedscale for a solution.

Speedscale provided an automated testing solution that integrated into the CI/CD process. It replays real traffic and automatically mocks dependencies, allowing the chain to stress test code changes accurately. This gave the engineering teams greater confidence in app performance before deployment, improved developer productivity, and reduced stress. The measurable impact included successfully handling a 50% surge in digital sales and preparing for future promotional traffic spikes.
