Accelerating Feature Releases with CI/CD Using AWS CloudFormation to Achieve 99.9% Uptime for Abright Labs

Solutions

• Deploying applications across various environments, including development, staging, pre-production, and production. The coordination of these deployments is efficiently managed through AWS CloudFormation, which ensures consistent and rapid deployments for the infrastructure.  

• Implemented CI/CD enhancement by deploying AWS CloudFormation templates for each microservice across distinct environments within AWS pipelines. 

• Implemented AWS CloudFormation template to automate the deployment of OpenSearch, enabling seamless setup for real-time application monitoring, log analytics, and website search functionality. 

• Implemented Amazon ECS Auto Scaling to enhance the availability of the application. During traffic spikes or sudden surges in demand, the service can quickly scale out by adding more tasks. This prevents application downtime. 

• Routed all microservices endpoints to a single Application Load Balancer (ALB) using host-based routing, optimizing resource utilization without relying on the number of Amazon EC2 instances or AWS Fargate tasks. 

• Implemented the setup of a REST API using AWS CloudFormation Template, with the automatic addition of resources as services are deployed. 

• Implemented the Multi-AZ deployment of Amazon RDS service in the private subnet using AWS CloudFormation Template (CFT) to ensure enhanced security and network isolation. 

• AWS Services used are Amazon ECS, Amazon ECR, Amazon CloudWatch, AWS Cognito, AWS IAM, Amazon OpenSearch, AWS Lambda, AWS CodePipeline, Amazon RDS, AWS Load Balancer, AWS Systems Manager, and  Amazon API Gateway.
