We are pleased to share a story from our collaboration with one of our customers: The migration and optimization of a webshop with over 50,000 articles to an elastic and scalable cloud solution.

The customer operates a webshop with over 50,000 items that are updated periodically via an API. However, the previous infrastructure was not elastic, which meant that all resources were used during updates. This led to long loading times and a website that was sometimes unavailable.

Challenges:

  • High load peaks during product updates
  • Long loading times and temporarily unavailable website
  • Need for an elastic and scalable infrastructure

Our solution approaches:

🔹 Detailed analysis and requirements analysis: Together with the customer, we analyze the specific requirements and challenges of the existing system.

🔹 Planning and development of a tailored cloud strategy: We develop a strategy to migrate and optimize the web store to the cloud.

🔹 Implementation of a scalable infrastructure in AWS:

  • Building an elastic infrastructure that automatically adapts according to demand.

  • Use of auto-scaling and load balancing to ensure constant loading times and high availability of the web store.

🔹 Ongoing monitoring and optimization: We take over the continuous monitoring and maintenance of the system to ensure smooth operation.

Results:

The customer's web store now runs efficiently and reliably in the AWS Cloud. Thanks to the scalable infrastructure, constant loading times and a website that is always accessible can be guaranteed, even while products are being updated.
