Cloud & Devops Services for Real Estate Product

About the client

The client is a company that has a rapidly growing Real Estate product in its portfolio. This product brings together transaction participants and allows them to quickly and easily access transaction details, engage with other parties and share the documents required for proper transaction completion.

Challenge

The client faced the need to automate multi-environment continuous integration and deployment process of microservices, move the front-end part to CDN as well as deploy multi-environment infrastructure as a code.

Solution

1. Amazon Route 53 provides DNS configuration.
2. AWS WAF is a web application firewall that protects the Real Estate platform against common web exploits.
3. Amazon CloudFront is a fast content delivery network (CDN) that speeds up distribution of static and dynamic web content.
4. Elastic Load Balancing (Application Load Balancer) distributes across the AWS Auto Scaling group of the Real Estate platform instances (Amazon ECS Cluster) in multiple Availability Zones.
5. On Amazon ECS Cluster, there is a dockerized application that consists of the Real Estate platform code itself, Nginx webserver and PHP, etc.
6. Amazon Elasticsearch Service manages Elastic Search Service for Real Estate platform catalog search.
7. Amazon ElastiCache for Redis provides a caching layer for the database.
8. The use of Amazon Aurora or Amazon RDS allows to simplify database administration (including high availability and multi-master configuration).

High-level solution diagram

The solution also features a CI/CD environment that uses GitLab CI to automate deployment and release processes. CI/CD consists of two independent pipelines for the front-end and back-end parts. All secrets for the deployment process are stored securely in GitLab CI. All infrastructure is deployed via Terraform. It’s also used to deploy back-end microservices with GitLab pipelines. State files for Terraform are stored in AWS S3 so they can be easily accessible from local and CI environments.

For the front-end part, a CDN service was configured using AWS CloudFront. The front-end pipeline deploys changes to S3 and then updates content on CloudFront. Both pipelines are triggered automatically and deploy changes to different environments.

clients’ Success stories

Infrastructure & Devops Services for Fintech Product

The client experienced the need to automate the deployment process of microservices and simplify the release process. One of the requirements was to migrate Docker containers to AWS ECS and move existing infrastructure to Terraform.

Cloud & Devops Services for Cloud Native Product

The client had a manual multi-environment infrastructure deployment аnd no continuous integration & continuous deployment automation. That significantly impacted the speed of product development, release, and delivery cadence of new application versions in general. Besides, it required a considerable part of the development team capacity to process it manually.

AWS Native Serverless Data & ML Pipelines Implementation

The client had high costs for development, deployment, and, most importantly, operation of the data platform including Data Lake, Ingestion, and ML Pipelines. The pipelines were mostly running in EC2 instances, which led to the increased cost of operations and required a significant amount of time to deploy and test the pipelines in lower environments.

Serverless Deployment Automation

The client came with a request to automate and unify the deployment process of serverless applications on AWS Lambda. Having manual deployments before, the customer was facing inconveniences and difficulties, including non-uniform environment setup (versions of Serverless, Python, Node, and so on were inconsistent) and inability to control the environment changes in one place.

Data Science Infrastructure

The client needed to strengthen collaboration within the data scientists team by moving research capabilities into cloud workloads. Besides, they wanted to automate and unify the deployment process of AWS resources. That, in turn, would decrease the time and effort required for a team of data scientists to build and test their models.
