Enhancing Performance and Cost Optimization for Lead Generation Website
Project Goals
The primary goal of the project was to create a cost-effective and highly available platform for a scraper application, with a focus on reducing fetching time and improving overall speed and performance.
Challenges
The key challenge faced in this project was to optimize the scraping process, specifically by reducing fetching time and load time to enhance speed and efficiency.
Solutions
Our team of certified experts conducted a comprehensive study and devised effective solutions to address the challenges of the project. The following implementations were carried out:
Microservice-based Architecture
Application Development: The scraper application was built using Python, ensuring flexibility and ease of development. Containerization: We utilized ECS (Elastic Container Service) to host the microservices, enabling scalability, portability, and efficient resource utilization. Image Storage: ECR (Elastic Container Registry) was utilized to store the built Docker images securely.
Database and Environment Management
Database Hosting: An RDS (Relational Database Service) instance was employed to host the database, ensuring reliability and efficient data management. Secure Environment Variables: Secret Manager was utilized to securely store and manage environment variables related to the database, ensuring data protection.
Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD)
Code Pipeline: We implemented a CI/CD pipeline using AWS CodePipeline, automating the build, test, and deployment processes. CodeBuild: CodeBuild was used for building the application, ensuring consistent and reliable code compilation. CodeCommit: CodeCommit served as the source code repository, providing version control and facilitating collaboration among development teams.
Performance Optimization and Cost Efficiency
Resource Scaling: Utilizing EC2 instances, we implemented automatic scaling to dynamically adjust resources based on demand, ensuring optimal performance and cost efficiency. Load Balancing: ALB (Application Load Balancer) was utilized to distribute incoming traffic evenly among the microservices, improving response times and availability. Content Delivery and Caching: CloudFront was implemented as a content delivery network (CDN) to reduce latency and improve the overall user experience by caching frequently accessed content.
