Project Overview
Turbo Time Trials is a competitive skill-based game app developed for New Zealand residents aged 16 and above. The app is built using a JavaScript framework and required a scalable and cost-effective cloud infrastructure solution for hosting and deployment.
The Challenge
The client’s primary objective was to deploy their APIs on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in a scalable and cost-effective manner. Additionally, they required a robust logging system with alert capabilities to monitor for 500 status codes, enabling proactive issue detection and resolution.
Our Solution
AEITCH’s team of DevOps and DevSecOps experts provided a comprehensive solution leveraging various AWS services and industry-leading practices to meet the client’s requirements.
Cloud Infrastructure
- Elastic Load Balancing (ELB): AWS ELB was implemented to distribute incoming traffic across multiple instances, ensuring high availability and scalability for the APIs.
- Amazon CloudWatch: CloudWatch was integrated to provide comprehensive monitoring and logging capabilities, enabling the client to track and analyze application performance and infrastructure metrics.
- Amazon S3: An S3 bucket was set up for secure and durable storage of application logs, ensuring easy access and analysis.
Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD)
- GitHub Actions: A CI/CD pipeline was established using GitHub Actions, enabling automated build, testing, and deployment processes for the application.
- SonarQube: SonarQube was incorporated into the CI/CD pipeline for static code analysis, ensuring code quality and adherence to best practices.
DevSecOps Practices
AEITCH followed industry-standard DevSecOps practices throughout the project, ensuring security was a core consideration from the initial design phase. This included:
- Implementing security best practices and automating security checks within the CI/CD pipeline
- Conducting regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
- Adhering to AWS security guidelines and leveraging AWS security services
