The Challenge

Playo faced critical challenges migrating from GCP to AWS, transferring a containerized web app with 30+ microservices hosted on GKE. Scalability and monitoring issues led to migration objectives focused on enhancing availability, cost reduction, and faster development via AWS’s CI/CD, aiming to boost system performance, cut costs, and accelerate software development. 

Solutions

  • Migration process involved minimal downtime during GCP to AWS resource transfer. 
  • AWS DevOps practices, including automated testing, deployment, and monitoring, improved stability and agility. 
  • VPC design with Bastion Host and NAT gateway ensured network security. 
  • MongoDB migration to multi-node failover MongoDB on Amazon EC2 from GCP VM. 
  • Amazon ECR served as a container registry for deploying images on Amazon EKS. 
  • Application performance is monitored with AWS X-Ray and Amazon CloudWatch. 
  • Amazon OpenSearch and Amazon CloudWatch log streams enabled centralized logging. 
  • Prometheus and Amazon CloudWatch monitored CPU, memory, Amazon EKS, and Amazon EC2 infra. 
  • AWS WAF monitored HTTP/HTTPS requests via the load balancer. 
  • Third-party tools used: Argo CD for Kubernetes, Bitbucket Cloud for Git-based CI/CD, Prometheus for system monitoring, and Grafana for visualization. 

The Results

Successfully migrated to AWS, optimized containerized workloads on Amazon EKS, achieved zero-downtime deployments, and improved overall system performance, resulting in increased scalability and efficiency.
