The football club’s new e-commerce site is built on SAP Hybris technology and served through Google Cloud. Content is pulled from various Content Delivery Networks (CDN), with external web services feeding into the application and a MySQL database backend.
Planit was engaged to performance test the complete end-to-end system to ensure the site could cope with any demand, at any time from any location, and that the customer had an enjoyable online experience.
