Migration to AWS Increases Revenue, Speeds Up Go-to-Market

Results

Higher revenue
Migrating the site to AWS improved website performance, contributing to a 40% increase in sales during peak shopping days.

Platform agility
The AWS platform provides flexibility and elasticity to scale up or down, depending on demand.

Faster go-to-market
The automated release ecosystem replaced the manual deployment process, enabling the Marketing team to get new features out quickly.
Challenges
A global manufacturing company needed to migrate its eCommerce site to an advanced headless platform with high availability, scalability, and security. Areas of concern included:
- Slow page loads
- Complex multisystem integration
- Inability for customers to transact via multiple devices and browsers
- Lack of performance monitoring

Solution
Leveraging our proprietary Commerce Factory solution, we deployed a complete eCommerce solution within 3 months. The new website featured:
- Optimized page-load performance
- Seamless integration with other systems
- A reliable and scalable cloud-hosting environment
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Increased insights on site performance and security
Our specialists:
- Lowered resource costs by enabling the autoscaling feature (to keep pace with traffic demand) and the caching service (to reduce the number of requests to the server)
- Onboarded a virtual private network (VPN) to segregate public and private services — the company uses Amazon ECS to host the back-end APIs, integrated with back-end AWS RDS (MySQL)
- Leveraged AWS S3 bucket for quicker access to digital assets and AWS certificate manager for automatically renewing SSL certificates in a secure platform
- Implemented the API calling to back-end services, like Order Management and Payment Gateway, in the serverless architecture (AWS Lambda function) with minimal back-end changes
- Bolstered security against vulnerable attacks — the application was exposed on AWS API gateway and the mapping happened with AWS Route 53
- Set up AWS CloudWatch to monitor performance
