A Solutions Architect Sharing how to apply Enterprises’ new website using AWS technique
After considering the speed and performance, the Solutions Architect team of Nextlink decided to containerize the company’s new website and use a variety of serverless services to greatly improve the performance of the website. The AWS services used are as follows:
- Customers search for URLs to enter the site through Route 53 and use Amazon CloudFront to speed up the site from the early steps.
- The packaged website image is placed in the ECR, published on multiple ECSs, and managed by Fargate, the serverless service. The container service itself is lightweight and service portable. As a result, the page loading speed will be improved. Also, it will be more convenient if the website function needs to be modified in the future.
- Use Amazon Aurora Serverless as the Database, which can be automatically expanded according to the reads and writes data on the website. Without the need for manual adjustments, this also reduces the cost of personnel maintenance.
- For storage service, connect ECS backend to EFS to share website files and transfer them to S3 storage at high speed through AWS Data Sync service.
Speed up the website by 10 times. Keep the user experience smooth and without stuck.
After the new website of the well-known enterprise was launched, the Solutions Architect team have tested and found the website loading speed was 6.6ms, which was nearly 10 times faster than the original website. Bruce Huang, the Senior Director of Nextlink AWS department, said: “Through this revision of the customer’s official website, Nextlink has proved our capabilities in cloud services, and can greatly improve website performance through new AWS services.
Supported by a professional team of Solutions Architects team’s experiences, we can provide the most comprehensive cloud solution for customers from different industries.”
