Yeah1

Challenges

In order to serve a large number of domestic and foreign customers regularly visiting the site to watch news and entertain daily, Yeah1 actually needs a really strong infrastructure system.

As an active entertainment company in anticipation of the latest trends, it's understandable that every hour or so dozens or hundreds of news are put up by Yeah1. Moreover, the articles are not just text lines, the content of the article is now also expressed through images and video.

This is a matter of concern with a website. When you have to store too many images and videos, the website will become "heavier". Rapid content feedbacks for crowded access numbers seem to be impossible for the root server. At times when there are too many hits and requests, the server system becomes overloaded and hence it takes the visitor more time to reach the full content they desire.

The feedback that Yeah1 usually receives from customers, especially overseas customers, is the slow loading status of the video, which makes them unhappy. Meanwhile, about 50% of users will leave the site if the site loads more than 3 seconds (source: PhocusWright, Forrester Consulting). This has a huge impact when Yeah1 is looking to improve the quality of service for its customers as well as improve its rank in the market of intense competition as today.

With the desire to better reach the audience, in addition to website construction, Yeah1 also develops its network on the phone application. In order to be able to store and connect data and keep the system running smoothly, equipping yourself with a good network infrastructure is a top priority for Yeah1.
