Our client is a globally recognized leader in English language assessment and instruction. They collaborate with prestigious universities, Fortune 500 companies, businesses of all sizes, educational institutions, and individual learners worldwide.
The client has successfully applied their proven teaching methodologies to assess English language proficiency. They have empowered non-English speakers from diverse backgrounds to achieve significant language skills within just four months, enabling them to secure employment and participate in programs requiring English proficiency. To support their expanding operations, the client sought a reliable, long-term partner to efficiently manage their day-to-day infrastructure operations, establish an optimal architecture, enhance performance, implement robust monitoring, and ensure a secure environment. Additionally, they desired a streamlined automation process for rapid feature deployment on their applications.
The client's monolithic application on a single server proved inadequate as their business grew, resulting in an inability to handle increasing user requests.
The client needed efficient mechanisms to monitor the performance of their infrastructure and applications.
Keeping costs low while ensuring optimal infrastructure performance was a challenge for the client.
The client required a robust security framework to safeguard their environment and protect sensitive data.
To overcome the challenges and achieve the project goals, we implemented the
following solutions:
To address scalability challenges, the client migrated from a monolithic architecture to a service-based architecture, enabling greater flexibility and scalability.
By containerizing the application, the client achieved better resource utilization, deployment efficiency, and enhanced scalability.
Hosting the services on AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) provided the client with a scalable and highly available infrastructure that could be easily deployed with a single click.
Jenkins pipelines and CloudFormation Templates were implemented to automate infrastructure creation, ensuring faster releases of new features on applications.
Robust monitoring mechanisms were set up to track resource utilization, identify bottlenecks, and optimize performance.
Best practices were implemented to optimize costs, such as right-sizing instances, leveraging AWS services efficiently, and continuously monitoring resource usage.
The client implemented security measures following the Center for Internet Security (CIS) framework, ensuring the highest level of security for their environment.
Ongoing efforts were dedicated to identifying improvement areas and implementing enhancements to optimize the overall environment.
The transition to a service-based architecture and ECS hosting enabled greater scalability and ensured high availability to handle increased user requests effectively.
