The client had a big-bang launch event, and the endpoints needed to be ready to face an instant spike in global traffic.
We delivered a multi-region solution that provided low latency to all users, while providing the scale and resilience the event needed.
Challenges
Global traffic spike requiring large capacity
Need to meet target response times for endpoints
Personalised responses reducing the ability of CDN to offload
Technologies & Techniques
Lambda for Compute, using provisioned concurrency
Automated Multi-region CodePipeline
DynamoDB replication used to place data at all regions
Route53 geo-routing to direct traffic
Cloudwatch Monitoring & Dashboards
Outcome
Endpoints satisfied the loading at target latency
