The Client Project
FanUp is a technology-driven platform focused on engaging users through various applications. As their user base grew, they faced increasing challenges around deployment speed, availability, and infrastructure scalability.
Their goal was to modernize their AWS-based cloud architecture, eliminate downtime during updates, and automate deployments with a secure and cost-optimized, scalable DevOps infrastructure.
Requirements
- Secure Infrastructure: Implement advanced security measures such as AWS WAF and IAM roles to safeguard resources.
- Seamless CI/CD: Automate build and deployment pipelines using Jenkins, enabling staged environments (Dev, QA, Staging, Production).
- High Availability: Ensure continuous application availability by configuring load balancers and auto-scaling groups for all environments.
- Efficient Monitoring: Use CloudWatch to create alarms for CPU utilization and integrate log groups for troubleshooting
- Scalable Architecture: Deploy ECS clusters for Docker container orchestration and auto-scaling based on resource utilization.
- Cost Optimization: Remove unused Elastic IPs, optimize S3 lifecycle policies, and manage RDS configurations effectively.
- Blue-Green Deployment: Introduce staging and production environments to ensure zero downtime during updates.
Our Implemented Service
- Built a CI/CD pipeline with Jenkins to support multi-stage testing and deployment
- Deployed ECS clusters for orchestrating Dockerized Node.js applications with PM2
- Enabled auto-scaling and implemented blue-green deployment for seamless releases
- Set up AWS WAF with predefined security rules and refined IAM access roles
- Created CloudWatch alarms and log groups for real-time monitoring and alerting
- Optimized AWS resources, including RDS, Elastic IPs, and S3 lifecycle policies for cost efficiency
We orchestrated containerized environments with auto-scaling, for smooth performance under high demand.
