The Details_

Objective

Build Circle provided integrated engineers to prepare the Moonpig platform for Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day peaks.  These are critical trading periods for Moonpig; any downtime risks significant impact on annual revenue.

What We Did

Build Circle built a suite of load tests that simulated real user traffic, and set up performance monitoring tools. By observing the monitoring while running load tests we were able to identify and fix bottlenecks in the platform.
