E-Commerce Platform Migration to Cloud

Client

Leading Global Retail Chain

Overview

A major global retail chain was operating their e-commerce platform on legacy on-premises infrastructure, facing scalability challenges during peak seasons and high operational costs. Kaycore Technologies partnered with them to modernize their infrastructure by migrating to AWS.

The Challenge

The client's existing e-commerce platform was built on aging monolithic architecture running on physical servers. They faced: • Inability to handle traffic spikes during holiday seasons • High infrastructure maintenance costs (6 full-time engineers) • Manual deployment processes leading to frequent downtime • Inability to meet global compliance requirements • Slow feature deployment cycles (2-3 months per release)

Our Solution

We designed and implemented a comprehensive cloud migration strategy: • Architected a scalable microservices-based platform on AWS • Implemented auto-scaling infrastructure using ECS and Lambda • Deployed CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment • Set up multi-region replication for disaster recovery and compliance • Migrated database to RDS with read replicas for performance • Implemented comprehensive monitoring and alerting with CloudWatch
