The Challenge
Scalability
Existing infrastructure lacked the capacity to handle the anticipated traffic surge of 2 million concurrent requests.
Cost efficiency
Traditional scaling solutions were expensive and inefficient for infrequent, short-duration high-traffic periods.
Agility
Implementing a solution that could automatically scale for future high-demand events was crucial.
Our Solution

Served as a unified entry point for managing API requests.
AWS Lambda
Provided a serverless platform for executing application code without managing servers.
AWS DynamoDB
Offered a scalable and flexible NoSQL database for storing data.
AWS CloudWatch
Enabled monitoring and logging of application performance and resource utilization.
AWS SNS
Sent real-time notifications for event triggers and scaling actions.
Business Impact
Scalability
The serverless architecture successfully handled the peak load of 2.08 million concurrent requests with 100% uptime.
Cost savings
ABP realized substantial cost savings, reducing expenses from $530 per campaign to just $15.
Improved agility
Serverless architecture enabled rapid development and deployment of new features without server management overhead.
