Situation
Horizm, whose business is based on managing and analyzing large volumes of data, faced challenges in its infrastructure to support the growth and scalability of its business model. The company needed to restructure its platform to improve reliability, flexibility, and the ability to handle variable workloads.
Our Solution
A full migration to the cloud was carried out to improve the scalability and reliability of the infrastructure.
Migration to AWS: The transition from Digital Ocean to AWS was completed, utilizing services such as ALB, EC2, Aurora, SQS, ElastiCache, CloudFront, EFS, and S3 to optimize the infrastructure.
Database Migration: All databases were migrated to Amazon RDS, using Aurora MySQL 8 to enable horizontal scalability.
Microservices Architecture: A microservices-based model was developed to improve the modularity and flexibility of the platform.
Horizontal Scalability: Horizontal scalability was implemented in both the application and data layers to adapt to variable workloads.
Data Systems Development: Data ingestion, processing, and storage systems were created, along with a pipeline for implementing new versions of applications.
Results
Increased Reliability: The AWS infrastructure improved the reliability of the platform, ensuring higher availability and fault tolerance.
Improved Scalability: Smooth horizontal scalability was achieved through Aurora MySQL 8, enabling the handling of variable workloads without interruptions.
Optimized Performance: The integration of ElastiCache and CloudFront reduced data retrieval times and latency, enhancing the end-user experience.
Cost Efficiency: The migration to the cloud allowed for a reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) through optimized resource management and cloud infrastructure, aligning with business needs.
