Combining Legacy Systems into a Scalable Platform
High Availability and Modern Infrastructure
Managing outdated apps can feel like walking on eggshells. One wrong move and the whole system could fail. This was the situation for a well-known automotive service company, whose Legacy Portal and Messaging Portal were running on outdated technologies and had become a headache to maintain.
Challenges
The client’s existing setup had several issues that were holding them back:
- The two applications were tightly coupled, making updates and maintenance risky and complex.
- Manual processes like database backups and code deployments wasted valuable time.
- The infrastructure was costly, lacked scalability, and suffered frequent downtimes, impacting productivity.
The Solution
We began by merging the Legacy and Messaging Portals into a single modern application. This helped us reduce unnecessary features and improve our operations.
- Merged Legacy and Messaging Portals into one streamlined application.
- Used AWS Glue to filter and migrate only relevant data.
- Set up CI/CD pipeline for automated, error-free deployments.
- Implemented auto-backups and S3 lifecycle management.
- We also enabled server health checks, auto-scaling, and CloudWatch monitoring to continuously optimize performance.
The Impact
- Uptime improved dramatically to 99.9%, making the platform more reliable.
- Performance increased significantly, helping the client to handle a growing user base without disruptions.
- Managing the platform became much simpler with streamlined processes and automated workflows.
- Reduced operational costs by adopting serverless architecture and efficient storage solutions.
