How CDN Reduced AWS Costs For MEXICANA Airlines Web App

When a tight deadline is non-negotiable, every second counts! Here’s how we developed and launched a web application for MEXICANA Airlines from scratch in just a few days and how CDN reduced AWS costs for them.

We ensured a smooth and efficient launch through careful coordination and task prioritization. Following the launch, we optimized the infrastructure to handle the app’s high demand and secure its performance.

Tech Stack

• CDN
• Angular
• Node.js
• Docker
• Kubernetes
• EKS
• ECS
• EC2
• S3
• Grafana
• Prometheus

Key Challenges

• Implementation of the app within a short timeframe (from Thursday to Monday).
• Effective coordination and task prioritization during the launch.
• Post-launch infrastructure optimization to improve performance (review using Kubernetes, EKS, Grafana, and Prometheus).
• The app had to be resilient enough to handle over 1M monthly users.

Solutions: How CDN reduces AWS costs

• Rapid Deployment: Leveraged Docker for containerization and swiftly set up the infrastructure to keep the site stable and secure during the launch phase.
• Performance Optimization: Implemented Kubernetes, AWS EKS, and monitoring tools like Grafana and Prometheus to improve scalability and performance monitoring.
• Resource Efficiency: Integrated a CDN to significantly improve load times and reduce AWS costs by optimizing resource delivery.
• Post-Launch Enhancements: Optimized caching, container deployment, and CDN setup to ensure sustained high performance.

Outcome

The Mexican army from the Mexican Federal Government app launched successfully on schedule, and our team remained on standby to ensure smooth deployments and handle any issues. Post-launch, the infrastructure was further refined to boost security and performance, leaving the client impressed with our work’s speed and quality.

This project highlighted our ability to adapt under pressure and reinforced our commitment to delivering outstanding results. It’s a source of pride and motivation as we look forward to tackling future challenging projects with the same dedication and excellence.
