In brief

A news portal that fell over on every big story moved to a scalable cloud setup and a custom Bengali-English CMS with breaking-news alerts and a video-first layout. It now handles ten times the traffic without a crash.

“Our old news portal crashed every time we broke a big story. Software Chamber migrated us to a scalable cloud infrastructure and built a custom CMS designed specifically for Bangladeshi newsrooms — multi-language, breaking news alerts, video-first layout, and 10-second page load speed. We haven't crashed since.”

The results, in the client's words

Running a news portal that crashes during breaking news is every editor's nightmare. Our old system simply couldn't handle traffic spikes when major stories broke - precisely when we needed maximum uptime. Software Chamber completely transformed our digital infrastructure. They migrated us to a robust, scalable cloud architecture that handles traffic surges effortlessly. The custom CMS they built was designed specifically for the unique needs of Bangladeshi newsrooms - supporting Bengali and English seamlessly, instant breaking news alerts, video-first layouts for modern consumption, and incredibly fast 10-second page loads even during peak traffic. Since going live with their solution, we haven't experienced a single crash, even during our biggest stories. Our readers now enjoy a consistently fast, reliable experience.
