Kukimi.de

It is the best example that demonstrates our experience in working with Magento based stores that are able to handle extremely high traffic. In peak loading coming after TV spots advertising, Kukimi manages 20.000 visitors and about 3000 purchases per hour.

Kukimi is hosted on MS Azure cloud service, that contains 10 servers working in a cluster (4 app servers, 3 DB servers, 1 storage service for keeping media data and logs, 1 staging server for the development and 1 server is for beta testing of the most recent features). The app servers are tuned for Azure load balancer, that allows to distribute the loading between all app servers. In case of failure of any app server, the project continues to serve its visitors.

DB cluster supports Master-Master data replication that is based on Percona and Galera, that allowed us to accelerate data manipulation in a few times. Moving data is always safe and in case of any DB server corruption, the project continues its safe working.

Such significant and important project as Kukimi requires constant support and monitoring. Beside server monitoring provided by MS Azure we use Zabix servers monitoring tool that notifies us about any failures on the servers. So we are being notified about any potential issue, that allows us to be quick in problems solving.

Kukimi has a lot of custom features, such as:

• Magento Products are presented as a program that contains the list of meals and these meals are listed for specific period. Kukimi consults and helps their consumers to take an optimal menu to see it online, to make changes to the menu and then to get a product with detailed instructions how to cook and to use the purchased product.
• There is a flexible delivery system, that a user may choose. The user may receive the whole purchase immediately, as well as to be able to receive products on daily/weekly base, paying for the purchase in parts.
• Kukimi uses custom CRM to manage their clients/products that is synced with Magento based store.
• There are a lot of various custom reports that allows Kukimi to foresee users demand for specific products.
• The site is presented in responsive design that allows the clients to use the power of Kukimi unique service on their mobile devices, as well as on computers.
• Currently we are migrating Kukimi to Magento V2.1 in order to have better server loading optimisation and integration with Kukimi CRM.
