ESPORTS ORGANIZATION
IMMORTALS
It is an eSports organization now based on Google Cloud Platform, capable of supporting 30k users.
- THE
Client Project
Immortals is an eSports organization dedicated to participate and coordinate major league of eSports competitions such as Smash Bros, Dota 2, League of Legends and Overwatch, among others.
Immortals came to us with the necessity of migrating their current Enterprise WordPress based website, www.immortals.gg, from Siteground to Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
- THE
Challenge
They wanted to count with a high-performance WordPress architecture that could satisfy the best standards for security, speed and user experience. Since they needed a high-performance WordPress architecture, they also needed a highly capable and scalable server infrastructure, which could provide all the necessary resources to attend the highest levels of demand. They opted to move from Siteground to Google Cloud Platform and to have GCP AutoScaling/Load Balancing implemented on their systems to have a flexible capacity to satisfy all the levels of demand.
