Project snapshot<\/h2>\n

Our client, a global Fortune 500 manufacturer and retailer, has been building a worldwide ecosystem of AWS-based solutions to accelerate the time to market of their innovative flagship products. The staggering popularity of their electronic devices prompted our client to continue expanding their global presence. Intellias has been helping our client implement their business growth strategy by providing engineering and AWS cloud expertise<\/a> to strengthen their technological infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\n

Operating in 180 countries and counting, our client has been a trailblazer in the consumer market with their revolutionary digital products. Through their next-gen customer engagement platform, our client has been delivering frictionless user experiences to 150 million users worldwide.<\/p>\n <\/div> \n <\/div>\n

Business challenge<\/h2>\n

Our client\u2019s global strategy called for fast scaling, increased stability, and high availability of their digital platform \u2014 all challenges that could be efficiently addressed using Amazon Web Services (AWS). But while the choice of cloud technology was obvious, the platform\u2019s microservice architecture and complex infrastructure included many components developed across different teams that required multiple integrations and communication among systems. The goal was to orchestrate the behind-the-scenes processes and integrations fuelling the platform\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

Our client\u2019s rapid business expansion resulted in brisk growth of the customer base and a growing need to monitor user activity and track customer loyalty through QR codes. In addition to end consumers, a worldwide network of distributors, stores, and other retail outlets actively use the platform. Building robust, scalable, and optimized AWS cloud infrastructure<\/a> would secure system stability, reliability of operations, and business continuity for our client, leading to sustainable revenue flows and more loyal customers.<\/p>\n

Technology solution<\/h2>\n

Key project milestones<\/h3>\n

Our team of engineers kicked off work on the project by developing a basic product blueprint and choosing technologies together with our client\u2019s solution architect. Our client\u2019s platform has a microservices architecture and is an event-based system with Kafka at its core as the main service bus.<\/p>\n

We started from two environments \u2014 production and non-production \u2014 and expanded to four major computing environments: development, QA, staging, and production. At first, our work was focused on enhancement and maintenance. Then we started building and adding new microservices to the platform.<\/p>\n

At the current stage of the project, our team has taken full ownership of the development process and is involved in analyzing and estimating product features as well as engineering decision-making.<\/p>\n

Amazon Web Services combo<\/h3>\n

The solution is built around a combination of AWS technologies including EC2, VPC, and Route53, allowing for a flexible and scalable architecture to ensure system stability and adaptability to increased loads.<\/p>\n
