Case Study
Cloud Migration & Adaptation Platform
Data is the foundation of Horizm’s business model, and it needed to restructure its platform to enhance growth and scalability.
As a result, a cloud migration and various projects were undertaken to develop data ingestion, processing, and storage systems in the cloud.
DETAILS
Name Company: Horizm
Starting Point: Data serves as the backbone of Horizm’s business model. The company required a platform restructure to improve the reliability and scalability of its infrastructure. Technologies utilized by Horizm include PHP (Laravel) and MySQL.
Solution Developed
- Migration to AWS: Transition from the Digital Ocean platform to AWS to achieve enhanced reliability and scalability. The following services were utilized:
- ALB, EC2, Aurora, SQS, ElastiCache, CloudFront, EFS, and S3.
- Database Migration: All databases were migrated through Amazon RDS, transitioning to Aurora MySQL 8 to leverage horizontal autoscaling.
- Microservices Architecture: Development of a microservices-based model.
- Horizontal Scalability: Implemented horizontal scalability for both the application and data layers.
- Data Systems: Developed data ingestion, processing, and storage systems, along with a pipeline for deploying new application versions.
Project Outcomes & Success Metrics
The restructuring resulted in a flexible platform capable of handling variable, fast, and highly available workloads. Key outcomes include a reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and improved service speed for end users. The migration to AWS provided the increased reliability and scalability necessary for the business.
Key Points of the Platform Migration
- Increased Reliability: Enhanced platform reliability through AWS’s robust infrastructure.
- Scalability: Achieved horizontal autoscaling with Aurora MySQL 8, enabling the system to handle varying loads seamlessly.
- Improved Performance: Optimized data retrieval times and reduced latency through services like ElastiCache and CloudFront.
- Cost Efficiency: Lowered Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) via optimized cloud infrastructure and resource management.
