Many e-commerce businesses face daily traffic from diverse consumers, with high-traffic websites imposing a significant computational burden on servers. This is especially true for fashion e-commerce brands, where the fast fashion trend drives massive traffic, creating considerable pressure on their websites:
- High traffic and heavy server load result in exorbitant monthly web hosting costs.
- Instability in the internal web engineering team leads to anxiety over website maintenance.
- Sudden traffic spikes driven by popular products cause constant lagging or even downtime.
One of the businesses greatly affected by these issues is a fashion e-commerce company that has been operating for over 10 years.
Company A is a locally established fashion brand in Taiwan, offering refined and unique products that have always been popular among customers. Unlike newly launched fashion e-commerce brands, Company A has focused not only on acquiring new customers but also on retaining its growing base of loyal clients. This has led to a steep increase in their hosting costs on GCP, with monthly expenses rising from a few thousand NTD to over 20,000 NTD. This figure excludes additional personnel costs for hiring dedicated engineers to maintain their website.
However, once their engineers left, Company A faced not only staffing challenges but also significant sales pressure. Particularly during promotional campaigns, the sudden influx of orders became a nightmare, as the unstable website led to numerous failed transactions and customer complaints, resulting in severe operational burdens.
From GCP to YJ-Cloud: Reducing Cloud Costs by 40% and Enhancing Operational Stability
A's exhausted management turned to YuanJhen Information for help. After a thorough assessment by professional consultants, they adopted YJ-Cloud, a solution designed to handle high-traffic surges efficiently.
In addition to the stability offered by GCP, YJ-Cloud provides AI-driven auto-scaling, which adjusts resource limits according to real-time traffic demands. Its pay-as-you-go billing model offers greater flexibility and cost-efficiency compared to traditional cloud platforms, which often require upfront capacity reservations.
After migrating to YJ-Cloud, A immediately saw results. Monthly cloud service costs decreased by 40%, and Proactive server management services by YuanJhen’s team resolved longstanding maintenance issues caused by staff turnover. A no longer needed to manually manage VMs or expand system capacity during promotions, resulting in significant savings in both labor and opportunity costs.
The feature most appreciated by A’s management was YJ-Cloud’s exclusive auto scale-up technology. Regardless of traffic volume, AI dynamically allocated resources during peak periods to ensure uninterrupted website performance. When traffic subsided, the system automatically reduced resource usage, saving both time and costs for the business.
