Art E-commerce Infrastructure on AWS
Discover how we architected a secure, scalable, and high-performance AWS infrastructure to power an art-based e-commerce platform, ensuring seamless user experience, robust media delivery, and bulletproof security for artists and consumers.
Project Synopsis
Biskane is an innovative e-commerce platform tailored for artists and creators to sell handmade artwork worldwide. The client sought a high-availability cloud infrastructure that would ensure fast content delivery, secure transactions, and effortless scalability.
To meet these objectives, we deployed a containerized solution using Kubernetes on AWS, integrated Amazon S3 for asset storage, and optimized performance through CloudFront CDN and WAF for security. The infrastructure was designed to scale with demand and maintain 99.9% uptime.
Key Features
Scalable Cloud Infrastructure
AWS-hosted system using EC2 Auto Scaling and Load Balancers to handle traffic surges.
Optimized Media Delivery
Image compression with CloudFront and automatic optimization for high-resolution artwork.
Project Requirements
The client required a secure and globally scalable backend infrastructure with efficient content delivery and high fault tolerance.
Key Challenges
We faced various technical challenges throughout the infrastructure planning and implementation.
Ensuring fast global access to high-resolution images and media
Implementing IP whitelisting and firewall protection without limiting flexibility
Setting up self-healing Kubernetes clusters
Minimizing latency and maximizing availability across AWS regions
Orchestrating deployment and load balancing with minimal downtime
Solution Implementation
Our team architected and deployed an AWS-based infrastructure that leveraged Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, and various AWS-native services for a fully containerized, scalable, and secure setup.
Our Approach
Configured EC2 Auto Scaling Groups and Application Load Balancers
Set up Kubernetes clusters using EKS with service-based architecture
Integrated Amazon S3 for static content storage with CloudFront for global CDN delivery
Implemented AWS WAF and Shield for network security and IP filtering
Used PostgreSQL with RDS for high-availability database services
Results
The project delivered a resilient and scalable infrastructure tailored for e-commerce and digital content delivery, exceeding the client’s expectations.
Key Results
infrastructure uptime across all zones
reduction in image load time via CloudFront caching
secure media uploads with IP whitelisting and WAF
and scaling with Kubernetes on AWS
content delivery speed with edge caching nodes
