Case study: OTpro Marketplace Migration to AWS

OTpro, a leading e-commerce platform that provides a wide range of products to customers across various regions, required a robust cloud infrastructure to support its growing customer base and ensure the scalability, security, and high availability of its e-commerce platform.

The goal was to migrate their existing WordPress-based website to AWS without any downtime or disruption to customer experience.

The Solution

Blue Pearl successfully managed the migration of OTpro’s e-commerce marketplace platform to AWS. The team designed and implemented a scalable, secure, and highly available infrastructure tailored to OTpro’s specific requirements.

Key components of the solution included:

  • Amazon RDS for MySQL: Providing a reliable and scalable database solution.
  • Amazon Elastic Compute Services: Provides virtual servers (instances) in the cloud, with configurable compute capacity, storage, and networking.
  • Security Groups: A security group acts as a virtual firewall for EC2 instances, controlling inbound and outbound traffic based on defined rules.
  • EC2 Instances: Virtual servers in Amazon’s cloud that run applications, providing scalable computing resources with customizable CPU, memory, storage, and networking configurations.
  • AMIs (Amazon Machine Images): Pre-configured templates used to launch EC2 instances, containing the operating system and application software.Instance Types: Predefined configurations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity to meet specific use cases, such as compute, memory, or storage-intensive workloads.
  • Elastic IPs: Static IP addresses designed for dynamic cloud computing, allowing users to associate a fixed IP address with EC2 instances.
  • Auto Scaling: A feature that automatically adjusts the number of EC2 instances in response to traffic changes, ensuring optimal performance and cost efficiency.
  • Elastic Load Balancing (ELB): Distributes incoming application traffic across multiple EC2 instances to ensure high availability and reliability.
  • Key Pairs: Cryptographic pairs used for secure SSH access to EC2 instances, with a private key kept by the user and a public key used by EC2.
  • Storage Options (EBS & Instance Store): EBS provides persistent block-level storage, while instance store offers temporary storage directly tied to EC2 instances.
  • EC2 Pricing Models: Pay-as-you-go pricing, Reserved Instances, and Spot Instances provide flexible cost options for EC2 based on usage patterns.
  • Security and Access Control (IAM Roles): IAM roles grant EC2 instances permissions to access other AWS services, enabling secure and controlled resource management.
  • CloudWatch Monitoring: Provides metrics and logs for monitoring EC2 instances, helping track performance and set up automated alerts.

The migration was executed with zero downtime, ensuring that OTpro’s customers experienced uninterrupted service throughout the process.

The Outcome

Since the completion of the migration, OTpro’s website has been running seamlessly on AWS, with notable improvements in performance, reliability, and security.

The successful implementation has resulted in:

  • Enhanced scalability to support business growth.
  • Improved website uptime and availability.
  • Strengthened security measures to protect customer data.
