The client’s trading application has tens of thousands of daily active users with peak activity during trading hours. Since the trading application involves real-time transactions and data feeds, any latency due to performance issues can negatively impact the business and put the client at compliance risks.
The client’s customers were facing frequent performance issues during both normal and peak hours. Also, product enhancements, feature rollouts, and bug fixing had longer release cycles. All this was blocking user growth, resulting in a huge opportunity loss.
Aokumo migrated the whole trading system on modern cloud infrastructure and re-platformed some services to take advantage of the elasticity, high availability of managed services, and top performance.
As the application deals with real-time price fluctuations, high transaction volume, and increased trading activities, it was important to maintain the high performance for the expected load and beyond.
Due to legacy systems and architecture, addressing a growing number of security concerns with immediate remedies was challenging.
The existing infrastructure was not able to provide the performance, resiliency, and scalability required for increasing the user base, trading volume, and the number of transactions.
Existing infrastructure lacked capabilities of compliance monitoring and alerting, which was a critical requirement in their business.
Aokumo conducted a digital fluency workshop to analyze the existing infrastructure, understand technology gaps, and make architecture recommendations based on business priorities.
To ensure security and compliances, Aokumo leveraged AWS’s well-architected framework and managed services to implement security-by-design infrastructure and compliance hub and automated compliance monitoring and remediation.
Aokumo built a distributed architecture with smart load balancing, automated backup, and recovery to ensure high availability and top performance.
The engineering team at Aokumo provided managed services for containerization and orchestration for faster and more secure deployments.
Adopting AWS cloud directly resulted in more than 70% cost-saving with pay-as-you-go billing and autoscaling.
DevOps implementation, proactive monitoring, and event-based alerting brought down the bugs and incident rates to significantly lower levels.
Faster release cycles, process automation, and auto-scaling reduced manual efforts dramatically, saving more than 50% time and effort.
Automated disaster recovery with timely backup and recovery enabled quick recovery from any incident.
