ObjectWin migrated a retail client’s e-commerce platform to AWS, utilizing Cloud Engineering and DevOps practices. Through a detailed SOW Engagement, we implemented a microservices architecture for scalability, enabling rapid application deployment and reduced maintenance with AWS managed services.

Client Objective

The project’s primary objective was to leverage the flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency of cloud-based infrastructure.

Challenge

Migrating the client’s e-commerce platform and customer data to AWS involved complex data migration, integrating legacy systems, and optimizing for scalability and performance while managing costs were significant challenges.

Approach

The first step was to move the client’s e-commerce platform and customer data to the cloud. AWS was chosen for its scalability, flexibility, and wide range of services. Our team designed a microservices-based architecture that enabled seamless scaling and greater resilience.

Lift and Shift for immediate cost savings
We initially migrated the client’s existing applications to AWS with minimal changes.

Re-architecting for scalability
Post-migration, we modernized key components using AWS Lambda for serverless functions and Amazon ECS for containerized applications.

Centralized Data Platform
Customer data from various channels (online and in-store) was consolidated in Amazon S3, enabling real-time analytics and personalized shopping experiences.

Results

Migrating to AWS enabled the client to deploy new applications and updates rapidly, it helped the client to adapt quickly to the changing market conditions and could release new products faster.

By providing AWS’s managed services, such as RDS for databases and Lambda for serverless computing we reduced the need for manual maintenance.
