The Challenge
A rapidly expanding online retail business experienced frequent
website crashes and slow performance during peak sales periods due
to an inability of their current hosting solution to scale. They
needed a robust, highly available, and scalable e-commerce
infrastructure to support their growth and ensure a seamless
customer experience.
Our Approach
YukthiX Consulting leveraged AWS services to build a resilient and
scalable e-commerce platform:
-
Architecture Design: Designed a cloud-native
architecture on AWS, utilizing services like Amazon EC2 Auto
Scaling, Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), Amazon RDS for database
management, and Amazon S3 for static content storage.
-
Serverless Components: Integrated AWS Lambda for
event-driven processing (e.g., order fulfillment, image resizing)
to improve efficiency and reduce operational overhead.
-
DevOps Implementation: Established a
comprehensive DevOps framework with CI/CD pipelines using AWS
CodePipeline and CodeBuild for automated deployments and version
control.
-
Security & Compliance: Implemented AWS WAF for
web application security, AWS Shield for DDoS protection, and
configured VPCs and security groups for network isolation,
ensuring PCI DSS compliance.
-
Performance Optimization: Configured Amazon
CloudFront CDN for faster content delivery and optimized database
performance with Amazon RDS.
-
Monitoring & Alerting: Set up Amazon CloudWatch
and third-party monitoring tools for real-time performance
tracking and proactive alerting.
The Solution
The new e-commerce infrastructure on AWS provided:
-
Dynamic scalability to handle fluctuating traffic with ease.
