E-Commerce Scaling - RetailMax
The Challenge
The Problem
RetailMax was scaling rapidly, but their legacy Magento monolith was buckling under pressure. During flash sales, the database deadlocked. Mobile page load times exceeded 6.2 seconds, obliterating their conversion rate and triggering a devastating 70% cart abandonment metric. They urgently needed to sustain 10,000+ concurrent connections without downtime.
