Need Assessment
The crypto exchange faced issues with scalability, rising infrastructure costs, complex management, and compliance challenges, all of which hampered performance, increased expenses, and heightened security concerns. These issues limited their ability to efficiently serve a growing user base.
Scalability Challenges
During peak traffic periods, the client’s infrastructure struggled to handle the increased load, causing slow page load times and transaction delays, negatively impacting user experience.
High Infrastructure Costs
The use of on-premises servers and inefficient resource allocation from existing cloud providers led to high operational costs.
Complex Management
As the infrastructure grew more complex, managing updates, monitoring, and maintenance became time-consuming and required significant effort.
Security and Compliance
The client was concerned about adhering to industry standards for compliance and ensuring the security of sensitive customer transaction data.
Recommendation
To address these challenges, we recommended migrating the platform to AWS infrastructure for its scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud services, including:
AWS Auto Scaling with EKS
Enables automatic scaling of containerized microservices during high traffic periods, ensuring consistent performance.
Amazon RDS
A fully managed database service to reduce operational overhead, enhance performance, and ensure high availability for their transactional data.
Amazon S3
Used for scalable and secure storage of user data, transaction records, and backup files with strong access control.
AWS Lambda
Serverless functions to handle event-driven tasks such as automated trade execution and notifications, reducing infrastructure load.
AWS CloudWatch
For real-time infrastructure monitoring, providing alerts on resource usage, application performance, and enabling proactive maintenance.
AWS EC2 Instances
Backend services such as Redis, RabbitMQ, Kafka, and phpMyAdmin were containerized and deployed on EC2 instances for better resource utilization and flexibility.
Actions Taken
The blockchain game development company implemented advanced security measures, cloud-based infrastructure, multiple payment options, and researched global gambling regulations and worked closely with legal experts to ensure compliance at every stage.
Infrastructure
Audit
Audited infrastructure to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and security risks.
Architecting the Solution
Designed scalable, secure architecture with VPC, subnets, and security groups.
Automation
Automated deployment with AWS CodePipeline for consistency.
Security Enhancements
Implemented AWS IAM and WAF for role-based access and threat protection.
Training
Provided training to the client’s team on managing the AWS environment.
Solutions Provided
We recommended and implemented a cloud infrastructure based on AWS services, following an in-depth analysis of their existing setup. This included:
AWS Auto Scaling & EKS for dynamic container scaling
Amazon RDS for efficient database management
Amazon S3 for secure storage
AWS Lambda for event-driven operations
AWS EC2 for dockerized backend services
AWS CloudWatch for real-time monitoring and alerts
