#5 - Realtor.com Case Study
<p>Co-hosts Joshua Proto and Ryan Jones take a look at a case study about Realtor.com®.<br> <br> Realtor.com® is a trusted resource for home buyers, sellers, and dreamers, offering a comprehensive database of for-sale properties as well as the information, tools, and professional expertise to help people move confidently through every step of their home journey. But when they needed to move from batch processing to real-time processing they turned to serverless. Was this switch worth it?</p> <p>Show Notes:<br> SERVICES USED:</p> <p>Kinesis data stream<br> Kinesis firehose<br> EC2<br> Lambda<br> AWS Professional Services</p> <p>PROBLEMS FACED:</p> <p>The company’s customers needed to change their ad campaigns in real-time and not have to wait for days or weeks. This required realtor.com to evolve from batch processing to real-time processing.<br> Realtor.com also felt limited in terms of its ability to effectively support user traffic, which varied depending on the time of day or year.<br> Growth, however, was becoming increasingly challenging for the company, not only in the number of people using the site but also in the number and complexity of new features we’re developing.</p>

Always free: talkingserverless.io <br> <br> <strong>Summary of Case Study:</strong></p> <ol> <li>Developers at Square Enix realize that image processing is resource-intensive on their gaming app Dragon Quest X. <br> </li> <li>That means there is a spike in server load when a lot of people take screenshots at the same time, such as during events. Usually, 200 to 300 images are received for processing each minute, but during New Year's Eve in-game events, this can climb as high as 6,000 images per minute.<br> </li> <li>Accelerating this process and boosting customer satisfaction was one of the challenges Square Enix faced in growing its customer base. AWS Lambda had a striking effect. Image processing that used to take several hours was finished in a little over 10 seconds.<br> </li> </ol>
