AWS Development for E-Commerce Eyewear Site

Introductory information
A few words almost your organisation and individualal responsibilities
I’m Chief Operating Officer and tech lead for a Thai e-commerce eyewear brand. Our e-commerce platform makes it easy for clients to strain and select frames as well as try them on at home.
Desired goal
What issue was the preparer supposed to deal with?
Ragnarson?We mainly use Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a cloud infrastructure for our Ruby on Rails e-commerce app. I knew that there were true areas for advancement in provisions of costs and automation of the setup we’ve been using. At one point I began to look for a associate to come in and overhaul our deployment pipeline and origination infrastructure. It was a project that we needed to complete but didn',t make perception to educe the cleverness to do in-house, as it would take time away from our regular role of educeing business applications.
What were your objectives for this project?
The last goal was to (1) make the test and deployment process more powerful for our in-house educement team and (2) better cost efficiency of dev and origination worker infrastructure. We focused on cloud labors cost optimization as the most significant KPI.
Provided solution
What were the reasons for choosing ?
I connected with Maciek (CEO) via email long ago. When we leading met, he seemed to be more focused on application educement so there was not yet a match in provisions of our needs and Ragnarson',s cleverness. Later, he circled back to me and began a converse almost his organisation',s new capabilities in devops. He asked me almost the infrastructure that we use and that’s how it began. He then implicated DevOps consultants and they did the technical assessments and gave us their proposals on what should be done, where to initiate, different changes needed, and what process would prepare the best results.
Describe the project and the labors they prepared in detail.
Ragnarson prepared operational support and educement work to help us with the infrastructure revamp. We use continuous integration workers to test our software see time a new code is written and pushed, but that computing space can be costly and hard to prophesy. Ragnarson replaced our 24/7 GitLab runners (Vultr and Digitalocean) with more cost-powerful AWS Spot Instances. It allowed us to divide the work athwart multiple servers and layer up and down space as required. Bidding for unused space in the AWS infrastructure kept the costs down. They also migrated our staging environment to the Fargate-backed ECS bunch. Most of the DevOps work they’ve done has been optimizing AWS cloud labors costs. Everything they came up with was implemented and fully integrated with our existing infrastructure. It allowed us to better handle and adviser our accomplishment.
Were there any dedicated handlers or teams that you worked with?
We worked with a team of two DevOps engineers. One of them was responsible for operational educement work and was backed up by a more senior individual. He was also useful for calls, ongoing consultation, code review, etc. I was impressed by how fast and smoothly they conversant our pull request and merge processes. They didn’t even have to ask for the instructions.
Results achieved
Can you share any information that demonstrates the touch that this project has had on your business?
They completed the project according to our requirements. The experience has been very real so far and we have seen an increase in accomplishment. A good sample of their work is the time our app needs to create and test. Before we brought them on board it took 30 minutes, they handled to curtail it to 12 minutes. We establish Spot Instances as a cost-powerful choice solution suited for our deployment process. It reduced costs significantly.
How was project handlement arranged and how powerful was it?
We hire 6 full-stack educeers, but I individualally assigned one of our devs as the main point of touch between our teams, with me backing him up. Ragnarson interactes powerfully and performs big when integrated with an existing team. They integrated well into our existing tools (Slack and Gitlab). They stay independent, yet very pellucid almost what they do. Despite the time separation they’re very answering trying to be as pliant as practicable. Due to the time zone separation between Thailand and Poland, we tried to have at smallest 4 hours schedule overlap, but verity they were always useful when we needed them. We establish them easy to promise with.
What precisely do you attend to be the key specialty of ?
Ragnarson is a team who knows how to collaborate to apprehend and liberate the goal. They took the time to acquire our business and apprehend our needs. As a result they conversant intricate DevOps requirements and liberateed a consummate solution, in the form of pull requests, that has lowered our costs significantly. Their technical apprehension stands out and makes them an extremely precious asset.
What should be done better, if there are any desired advancements?
Not veritably. They exceeded the programned budget by a couple of hours but were very pellucid almost this, and I authorized the change. Besides that, they were able to liberate on all of our requirements. Their labor liberatey is forcible!
