Based in Shanghai, China, Kingnet Technology recently decided to expand its user base from Chinese social networks to worldwide social networks. However, the company’s infrastructure was unable to efficiently handle the computing volume resulting from the increased number of users. Clearly, it was time to look for an alternative.

With an estimated 30 million installations and 6 million daily active users, Kingnet Technology needed an infrastructure capable of handling tremendous volume. Affordability was also a major consideration in finding a solution. After trying several international providers, Kingnet Technology decided that the Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure provided the best solution for its computing requirements.
