Highlights

60%

Cost Savings

Reduced Maintenance Overhead to Near Zero

Removed the need for patching, restarting, or monitoring

Improved Scalability

Enabled concurrent execution

The Challenge

The customer relied on a single Amazon EC2 instance running scheduled Node.js jobs via crontab, which became a scalability bottleneck and a single point of failure. The server incurred continuous costs despite intermittent use, lacked logging and monitoring, and required manual maintenance. As job volume grew, the absence of retry mechanisms, alerts, and automation made the setup inefficient and misaligned with cloud best practices.

Solutions

• Migrated Node.js scripts to AWS CodeCommit for centralized version control and collaboration.
• Created isolated AWS CodeBuild projects with buildspec.yml for consistent execution.
• Replaced crontab with Amazon EventBridge for centralized job scheduling.
• Used scoped AWS IAM roles and injected secrets via AWS Secrets Manager and Parameter Store.
• Enabled Amazon CloudWatch Logs, retries, DLQs, and SNS alerts for monitoring and reliability.
• Decommissioned Amazon EC2 instance after successful migration of all jobs.

The Results

Reduced costs by over 90% and eliminated maintenance overhead with AWS CodeBuild, enabling secure, scalable, and reliable job execution without managing servers or idle resources.
