Japan’s Largest Game Strategy Info Site AppMedia Begins Using
Ultrafast WordPress Virtual Machine KUSANAGI and
Amazon RDS for Aurora
Site Display Time Reduced to 1/10th

TOKYO – March 25th, 2016 – Prime Strategy Co., Ltd. (hereby referred to as Prime Strategy) today announced that Japan’s largest game strategy info site AppMedia has begun using KUSANAGI Fully Managed Service with the ultrafast WordPress execution environment KUSANAGI for AWS. KUSANAGI is capable of an execution time of 3 milliseconds and 1000 requests per second without page caching.

As the following graph shows, AppMedia was able to reduce their site display time to 1/10th what it was.

Issues of AppMedia

・Page display time and loading time between pages was slow
・Risk of downtime when the site received heavy traffic
・When an error occurred, staff could not be assigned to it immediately

Results of Using KUSANAGI Fully Managed Service

・Greatly improved page display speed
・24/7 site support
・Ability to talk with experts about more ways to improve

Comment from Noriaki Ikemiya, Engineer/Director at AppMedia

We originally ran the site on our own server. As the site’s page views grew, we made the move to AWS and entrusted our server to another company. We expected more stable performance, but whenever we had heavy traffic the site became unstable. We decided to discuss things with Fastly, and they recommended Prime Strategy’s KUSANAGI Fully Managed Service. Prime Strategy’s proposal was sound and was supported by technological strengths that showed in the performance numbers. And we gained a peace of mind from their commitment to problem-solving. With the attraction of 24/7 site support and the ability to speak to technology experts directly, we ordered the service only a month after proposal.

AppMedia’s Site Infrastructure

The front-end for AppMedia uses the Real-time CDN Fastly, and the back-end uses KUSANAGI for AWS (Nginx and php-fpm) and Amazon RDS for Aurora. It also uses the WordPress plugin HyperDB. The makeup of Aurora’s Read Replicas allows for load-balancing and performance and availability guarantees.
