Sell Your Classic (SYC) is a well-known company in the American classic car market. Essentially, as its name suggests, SYC offers classic cars for sale and organizes auctions. With over 15,000 unique cars available and a massive amount of photos to process, they needed to refresh and unify the user experience.
Results:
Our team rewrote the code for the previous direct requests so that image processing was faster than before. They also developed a new processing method using other PHP techniques.
Reduced calls to Firebase. We optimized access to gallery functions by making all gallery-related calls in a single JSON instead of multiple small resource-consuming calls.
Multi-threading. We ran the same routine on mutually exclusive sets of photos for faster processing.
Use of a Content Delivery Network (CDN). We used AWS S3 to make all car images available as quickly as required by modern business standards.
Technologies used:
- Amazon Web Services
- Firebase
