Solution implemented
apser joined the project at a time of great uncertainty: we carried out a meticulous study of the client's needs using our ACALIC methodology that allowed us to detect and address all underlying risks.
apser designed a secure, highly flexible and reliable platform to deliver an optimal experience to the many conference attendees around the world, while also integrating custom scripts to verify attendance at third-party talks and video broadcasts.
Once the platform was deployed, stress tests were performed and applications were optimized until their correct operation could be verified for 7000 simultaneous users.
Results
As attendees closed their sessions on the platform, their evaluations of the event were received and, in general, they were very enthusiastic. eCardio 2020 congress was a resounding success, to the delight of all the organizers.
Finally, the client decided to keep a reduced version of the platform active in order to provide access to the recorded sessions and materials.
To consider!
It is always necessary to start with a good platform architecture to offer good performance and not to neglect stress and usability tests, since they allow the size of the platform to be optimized.
The resources deployed during the week of the congress had a very low cost since they were only operational for ten days. Flexibility that AWS provides to activate resources as needed was essential to the success of the project.
During the event, the metrics obtained with Amazon Cloud Watch y Performance Insights about RDS They were very helpful in resolving some minor issues.
To achieve success in these types of projects, a holistic approach is required with platform architects, software experts, operating system knowledge, and stress testing management.
