Shajgoj, a leading eCommerce platform in Bangladesh, recognized the need for a robust, scalable, and secure infrastructure to sustain growth. Amid rapid expansion and increasing customer demand, the platform faced challenges in scaling operations, maintaining system security, and managing employees, customers, and vendors efficiently. To address these issues, Inflack migrated Shajgoj’s operations to Amazon Web Services (AWS), optimizing performance, enhancing security, and increasing system elasticity. With a 29% increase in traffic following migration, Shajgoj now benefits from a seamless shopping experience, fortified security, and uninterrupted service delivery.

Scaling and Securing Shajgoj’s eCommerce Platform with AWS

Client Overview

Shajgoj is a premier beauty and lifestyle eCommerce platform in Bangladesh, committed to offering high-quality products and reliable customer service. As the eCommerce industry booms in the country, Shajgoj aimed to establish itself as a trusted marketplace with enhanced customer experiences through fast delivery, cash-on-delivery options, and installment payment facilities. To support its expansion, Shajgoj needed a highly scalable, secure, and efficient infrastructure.
Challenges:

The platform encountered several challenges as it expanded:

  • Scalability Issues: Shajgoj struggled with maintaining operations across multiple departments, including employees, customers, and partners.
  • Security Risks: The existing infrastructure had vulnerabilities that posed risks to sensitive customer data.
  • Limited Performance and Redundancy: The server lacked the necessary configurations for smooth operation, resulting in poor redundancy and increased downtime risks.
  • Traffic Management: The platform needed a solution to handle surges in traffic efficiently, especially during peak shopping seasons.

Our Solution

To address these challenges, Inflack migrated Shajgoj’s operations to AWS, providing a secure, high-performance infrastructure. Key aspects of the solution included:

  • Smooth Migration to AWS: We created an exact replica of the existing website on AWS, ensuring minimal downtime and seamless transition. The migration also involved configuring EC2 instances for optimized performance.
  • Performance Enhancements with Varnish and Redis: Critical features such as Varnish caching and Redis for in-memory data storage were integrated to improve response time and manage high traffic effectively.
  • Enhanced Security and DDoS Protection: A firewall was configured to block unauthorized access, and an automated solution was implemented to protect against DDoS attacks, securing all servers, databases, and components.
  • Elasticity and Scalability: The AWS environment provided Shajgoj with the flexibility to scale resources based on demand, improving its ability to handle increased traffic and operational complexity.

Results

The migration and infrastructure upgrade delivered significant improvements:

  • 29% Increase in Traffic: The platform experienced a surge in customer engagement after the migration, without compromising performance.
  • Improved Security: The new infrastructure eliminated security breaches and ensured the protection of sensitive data.
  • Seamless Operations: Automation and redundancy ensured uninterrupted service, even during peak traffic.
  • Scalable Infrastructure: With the elastic AWS environment, Shajgoj can easily scale its operations to meet future growth and market demands.
