Project Goals
The goal of this project was to perform full-stack DevOps activities to enhance the app’s performance, scalability, and user experience.
Client Needs
EduWealth needed a comprehensive DevOps strategy to:
- Ensure continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD).
- Improve application reliability and performance under varying loads.
- Enhance user experience through faster updates and feature releases.
Duration
The project was executed over a period of three months, focusing on both back-end and front-end optimizations.
Engineers Deployed
A team of four engineers, comprising back-end and front-end developers along with DevOps specialists, was deployed to this project.
Technologies Used
- Containerization: Docker for creating containerized applications.
- CI/CD Tools: GitLab CI/CD for managing deployment pipelines.
- Cloud Services: AWS for hosting and scaling the application.
Challenges and Solutions
One significant challenge was ensuring seamless integration of the CI/CD pipeline with the existing codebase. To address this, SAS conducted workshops with EduWealth’s development team to align on best practices and establish clear guidelines for code integration and deployment.
Another challenge was optimizing the application for scalability to handle varying user loads. SAS implemented auto-scaling features in AWS, allowing the app to automatically adjust resources based on traffic, ensuring a smooth user experience during peak times.
