Application Architecture
Optimizing Application Architecture for Scalability and Performance
Our client developed an impressive high-IO application but faced severe architecture issues causing frequent crashes when more than three users connected simultaneously. The application was overwhelmed by excessive IO and CPU usage due to poor design and deployment practices. Despite multiple attempts from various developers, the problem persisted.
When the client approached us, we resolved the issue within a single day. Here’s how we achieved it:
- Kubernetes Architecture Optimization: Redesigned the Kubernetes infrastructure to efficiently manage high traffic.
- Upgraded Compute Resources: Increased compute power to handle demanding workloads.
- HDD to SSD Migration: Upgraded storage to SSDs for faster IO processing.
- Environment Separation: Segregated production, development, and QA environments using NFS disks to prevent resource contention.
- Application Changes: Proposed architectural adjustments and optimized based on log analysis.
Post-implementation, the client’s application could successfully handle stress tests with 500 simultaneous users without any issues. The application now delivers exceptional performance, and the client continues to work with us on additional projects, satisfied with the results we delivered.
Skills and Deliverables:
- Kubernetes: Optimized the containerized environment for scalability.
- Performance Tuning: Enhanced application speed and reduced crashes.
- Cloud Storage: Migrated storage to SSD for faster performance.
