Monitoring
Being New Relic official partner, we’re using New Relic software which is the most efficient and effective monitoring tool in the market, which not only gives you server monitoring, but application and database query monitoring as well. We have deployed APM module, Infrastructure module, insights module and we have designed custom dashboards as per the suitability of the client and we were able to achieve a code optimized environment with the help of enhanced and in depth monitoring of the application, server and database.
Security
Our Cloud computing team were able to provide the multi-layer protection to the production and database server having no public access and no direct connection from outside traffic through any way. The team achieved this with creating highly secured environment by creating VPC with private and public subnets and managing the unnecessary traffic from outside in the form of attacks and bots.
Scalability
Deploying Auto-Scaling with Application load balancer and setting up the custom Auto-Scaling rules helped us to achieve the automation in cost effective scaling manner of the instances combined with Application load balancer.
Database management
Our Cloud Computing Team also have been able to provide the database availability using multi AZ MySQL resulting in very reduced latency in every AZ.
Redis Cache
The cloud computing team also managed to provide an efficient solution for caching the database queries to reduce the load on the DB instance and also reduced the response time of the db queries so that the db requests are served instantly.
Support
BigStep Technologies is well known for the support consistence support 24x7 trying to satisfy the client’s need with the help of our expertise in providing standardised support level. BigStep Technologies not only provided the server or environment level support, we have also provided good level of application level support with the help of our experienced developers with deep troubleshooting skills.
Client Issues
Client required the best secured and fault tolerant architecture that is going to be hosted in many countries with a cost effective website migration and monthly AWS billing. Needed a good solution for database replication with Elastic Redis cache in multi AZ.
VPC and subnets
Our Team managed to create a secure environment before deploying any services for the client and created optimized combination of private and public subnets to provide the environment more security and good performance.
Technical Challenges
Accomplished the database replication among multiple AZ using the slave and master read replicas. Also, achieved elastic redis cache multi AZ caching separately for each ec2-instance with master and slave method only. Implemented ALB with multiple target groups dividing traffic as per the application requirement having multiple domain names.
EC2-instance with Auto-Scaling
We have managed to put multiple instances behind the same load balancer with Target group to fulfil the application requirements and distribute desired traffic to the chosen instance.
Solutions Offered
AWS cloud engineers at BigStep migrated the website from a private server to AWS with reducing the storage and excess backup consumption of the website database and files. We have also provided the best cost effective services and reduced the extra usage of AWS services.
Results Obtained
Cloud Computing Engineers at BigStep achieved the agility in the environment by making it secure, reliable and perform well with lowering the cost of the AWS services.
Goals Achieved
A cost effective, scalable and secured environment accomplished with fault tolerant capabilities and self healing techniques, ensuring the satisfaction of the client.
Security Controls
Configured VPC with private subnets and restricting the undesired traffic from ACL and keeping the production server inside the private subnet. Deployed bastion host ensuring the good security standard for production environment as well as UAT environment.
