Ashare's Challenges

The customer wanted to create a staging and a production environment for its SaaS solution based on React as frontend and NodeJS for the backend. 

 

Our role as APN partner was to design the architecture to host the customer solution, deploy the infrastructure and support the customer AWS adoption. For this, we proposed a container architecture based on a Well-Architected framework.


An important challenge was that the client needed the environment ready in 4 days (all components), from zero to PoC without delay. This severely limited our architecture options and forced us to leverage each and every benefit of the AWS cloud model.
They needed a complete environment in AWS based on a Kubernetes cluster to be able to show its application stack functionality but also with best security practices and low costs. 

Why AWS

AWS was chosen because it helps to create a secure and high-performance infrastructure, and efficient Kubernetes cluster, which is a big part of the infrastructure. It also allows us to create it in the simplest and fastest way and keep costs low by getting the advantage of the pricing that AWS has to offer.

The AWS cloud is more than a technology platform. It is a catalyst for business transformation and growth. There are many benefits that AWS cloud solutions provide that make it the number one choice for the most important companies around the world.

Why Teracloud

CENG needed a very trusted AWS partner with a strong background in creating fast cloud infrastructure solutions. Even more importantly, given its mentioned challenge, they couldn’t afford any error, delay, or any serious issue. Fortunately, Teracloud has shown these capabilities on past projects and also in similar scenarios.

 

In addition to this, we work to define a strategy, create a cloud roadmap, optimize your move to the cloud, and implement modern platforms for continued operational excellence.

Partner Solution

Teracloud designed and implemented a solution in two phases:
Phase one, for deploying the application stack in the estimated time:

  • Route53

  • VPC, Multi-Az, Multi-layer

  • Amazon Certificate Manager

  • S3

  • Cloudfront

  • EKS

  • Aurora MySQL RDS

  • Elastic Load Balancer

  • ECR

  • AWS Parameter Store

 

We use an S3 to store frontend assets and to serve static web content with a CloudFront distribution with TLS encryption in transit. Leading the technology selection we choose EKS to host the backend workload, getting the container images from the AWS Elastic Container Registry, and secrets and environment variables from the Parameter store. The is securely exposed to the internet by an Application Load Balancer that connects with the frontend and Route53 for DNS.

Phase two, after the PoC, build and deploy part:

 

  • Codepipeline

  • Codebuild


In the second phase, we choose a gitops CD pipeline by using ArgoCD, Codepipeline, and CodeBuild.

The developer pushes the code to a git repository which will be watched by the code pipeline, after is pushed, CodePipeline triggers the pipeline in code build, which will build and deploy the frontend to the S3 bucket and also builds and pushes the backend docker image to the ECR repository, and updates the git repository that has the yaml manifests that Argo watches.
