challenges

MuscleFood faced one main challenge in their work

Magento website issues

Running a multifunctional website on a Magento platform requires conducting an in-depth audit and ensuring speed optimization. That's exactly why Muscle Food team reached out to us for DevOps support. In addition, Muscle Food had occasional issues with infrastructure but had no monitoring to identify the cause of the problem. It turned out that the 3rd party managed the infrastructure, and no one had access to it.

For monitoring, we set up Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager that gives the client full observability of the infrastructure and early notification of the occurring issues.

Why AWS

AWS benefits at a glance

//

Easy to use

AWS is designed to allow application providers, ISVs, and vendors to quickly and securely host your applications – whether an existing application or a new SaaS-based application. You can use the AWS Management Console or well-documented web services APIs to access AWS’s application hosting platform.

//

Cost-Effective

You pay only for the compute power, storage, and other resources you use, with no long-term contracts or up-front commitments. For more information on comparing the costs of other hosting alternatives with AWS, see the AWS Economics Center.

//

Flexible

AWS enables you to select the operating system, programming language, web application platform, database, and other services you need. With AWS, you receive a virtual environment that lets you load the software and services your application requires. This eases the migration process for existing applications while preserving options for building new solutions.

//

Reliable

With AWS, you take advantage of a scalable, reliable, and secure global computing infrastructure, the virtual backbone of Amazon.com’s multi-billion dollar online business that has been honed for over a decade.

//

Secure

AWS utilizes an end-to-end approach to secure and harden our infrastructure, including physical, operational, and software measures. For more information, see the AWS Security Center.

//

Scalable and high-performance

Using AWS tools, Auto Scaling, and Elastic Load Balancing, your application can scale up or down based on demand. Backed by Amazon’s massive infrastructure, you have access to compute and storage resources when you need them.
