2026
As Nepal's most visited tech portal, GadgetByte serves millions of readers monthly. The challenge was to modernize a legacy infrastructure that had reached its vertical scaling limits, transitioning into a high-performance ecosystem that prioritizes speed, structured data, and editor experience without disrupting their massive traffic flow.
The Challenge
After a decade of aggressive growth, the original monolithic system struggled to handle the sheer volume of assets and concurrent users. Database bottlenecks, rigid content structures, and sluggish mobile performance were impacting user retention and SEO potential. We needed a clean break from the past while preserving a decade of legacy data.
