About DeinDeal
DeinDeal, founded in 2010, is one of the largest e-commerce sites in Switzerland. Every day, the DeinDeal channel presents new and current offers on exclusive brand, lifestyle and cosmetic products, tourism and travel offers and local deals, all at high discounts. With its Flash offers, DeinDeal offers consumers high-quality products at an absolutely affordable price for a limited period of time. The high traffic generated on its sales platform presents DeinDeal with the daily challenge of ensuring that the promise of a great digital customer experience is delivered by ensuring that the website is consistently fast, available and easy to use.
The challenge
The continued growth of DeinDeal and the associated scalability requirements demanded greater flexibility and agility at the infrastructure level and a reduction in the total cost of ownership. To this end, DeinDeal began looking for a partner in 2018 who would be able to migrate the staging, preproduction and production environments previously hosted on a bare-metal basis to a cloud hosting platform that offered the necessary flexibility and TCO reduction. In addition, the infrastructure should be hosted in Switzerland for low latency, data protection and support.
