Twomatches B2B Business

Technology Solution

Novawork played an instrumental role in deploying Twomatches, a community platform for retailers and brands, onto the robust Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud platform. The architectural foundation of Twomatches was crafted with a frontend built on ReactJS/Redux, ensuring a responsive user interface. The backend was anchored by the powerful combination of Node.js and Express.js, creating a scalable server environment primed for growth. Data integrity and structured storage were paramount, which led to the decision to integrate Amazon RDS with PostgreSQL.

The beauty of deploying on AWS is the inherent scalability and flexibility it offers. Twomatches was hosted on Amazon EC2 instances, which allowed the platform to scale vertically based on the influx of traffic and user demand. Furthermore, static assets—ranging from images to documents—found a home in Amazon S3, renowned for its reliability. AWS's Auto Scaling capabilities were also harnessed to ensure that the platform could adapt to varying traffic loads without manual intervention.

Security, a non-negotiable in today's digital landscape, was rigorously addressed. A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) was set up to isolate resources, ensuring that Twomatches operated in a safe and contained environment. Coupled with AWS's Identity and Access Management (IAM), the platform was fortified against unauthorized access and potential breaches. Adding another layer of security, data transmission was encrypted using SSL certificates.

To complement the structured data storage in RDS, Amazon DynamoDB was employed in instances where NoSQL storage was beneficial, offering high performance and scalability. With user experience at the forefront, performance optimization was a priority. To achieve this, Amazon CloudFront's Content Delivery Network was implemented, ensuring users across the globe experienced minimal latency. Moreover, Elastic Load Balancing was leveraged to evenly distribute incoming traffic among multiple EC2 instances.

Lastly, the vitality of monitoring and logging wasn't overlooked. Amazon CloudWatch was integrated to keep a vigilant eye on the application's overall health and performance. And for those unforeseen instances where in-depth debugging was required, AWS X-Ray was at the ready to trace and resolve issues.
