Slow Customer Transactions: Database writes and updates were slow, resulting in delayed checkouts and sluggish order processing.
Increased Slowness & Latency: High query volume caused massive latency spikes on the mobile application and website, causing friction in the buyer journey.
Platform Downtime: The database was unable to handle workloads exceeding 7,000 queries, leading to regular database crashes during high-traffic promotional hours.
Operational Risk:The team required proactive database support during marketing launches to prevent revenue loss and protect customer relationships.
→ Eliminate database crashes and stabilize the platform during peak promotional windows.
→ Scale the query capacity of RDS MySQL to comfortably handle traffic spikes.
→ Reduce database read/write latency to improve the front-end user experience.
→ Optimize database resource usage to control escalating cloud infrastructure costs.
Conducted a detailed analysis of the active RDS MySQL environment to identify exact performance blockages under load.
Re-evaluated resource consumption patterns to align database size with actual transactional needs.
Restructured and tuned slow-running queries to reduce response times and lower the overall processing burden on the system.
By optimizing queries and resource consumption, Kirana11 was able to reduce its active database instance size by 50%. This change immediately halved their monthly AWS database hosting spend.
The database successfully handled traffic spikes of up to 20,000 QPS nearly three times the previous limit—allowing marketing teams to run high-volume sales campaigns without system interruption.
Resolving high write latency and slow response times restored smooth app and website performance, preventing cart abandonment and securing buyer trust.
CPU utilization on Amazon RDS dropped by 5x. This reduction freed up significant computing headroom, ensuring stable database operations during peak shopping hours.
When Kirana11 launched new sales promotions to help local grocery stores reach digital buyers, customer demand quickly tested the limits of their infrastructure. At 7,000 queries, database bottlenecks triggered system slowness and unexpected crashes. This operational friction threatened to impact both the customer experience and merchant relations
By deploying database experts directly to Kirana11's headquarters, the team isolated the underlying query and configuration issues. The resulting performance improvements did more than just stabilize the platform; they allowed Kirana11 to handle nearly three times its previous traffic peak while cutting database hosting costs in half. What began as an urgent system bottleneck became an opportunity to establish a highly efficient, cost-optimized data layer ready for future business growth.
