Customer Challenge

Given the complexity of the planned creative workflow management tool and its intended audience, the customer faced multiple challenges, from integrating third-party services with robust security to ensuring a consistent user experience across web and mobile platforms. Scalability and performance were critical concerns, while implementing a secure and efficient client approval system introduced further complexity in terms of permissions, data privacy, and real-time synchronization.

Solution

The resulting creative management platform is built on a monolithic architecture hosted on AWS, employing HTTPS, Jenkins, and AWS Load Balancer for deployment. Its web front-end is developed in React, using Redux and MUI for UI and state management, while the mobile app leverages SwiftUI and Combine. The back-end runs on Node.js and Express with PostgreSQL for data storage, seamlessly integrating with third-party services like Google Maps and Stripe.

The solution effectively utilizes various AWS offerings:

  • Amazon RDS automates patching and provides vertical scaling for relational data;
  • Amazon EC2 provides resizable virtual servers for computing needs;
  • AWS Lambda handles event-driven, serverless tasks that complement the monolithic architecture;
  • AWS Load Balancer efficiently distributes incoming traffic;
  • Amazon CloudFront ensures fast global content delivery;
  • Amazon VPC secures networking within an isolated cloud environment;
  • AWS CloudTrail enables continuous auditing and API logging;
  • AWS IAM enforces fine-grained identity and access management.

This architecture ensures scalability, security, and optimal performance while leveraging AWS's extensive ecosystem.
