The Vision

La Web Shop, a leading provider of e-commerce solutions, aimed to modernize its application and infrastructure stack by leveraging containerized Kubernetes architecture on AWS EKS. They sought to ensure that their AWS adoption followed best practices to optimize performance and cost efficiency.

The Goal

La Web Shop's mission was to enhance their online retailing hosting and web presence by modernizing their infrastructure. This included ensuring administrative and operational security, achieving cost efficiency, and assuring business continuity.

The Challenge

With the move to a modern containerized Kubernetes architecture on EKS, La Web Shop needed to validate their approach and optimize their stack. They required expert advice to confirm that their architectural and Kubernetes practices adhered to AWS best practices and to address any underlying issues.

The Solution

Protagona partnered with La Web Shop to conduct a Well Architected Framework Review (WAFR), an EKS optimization Immersion Day, and a Kubernetes Optimization Engagement. These engagements provided a detailed assessment of La Web Shop’s application stack, offering prescriptive practices for achieving the desired state of operations and infrastructure.

Administrative and Operational Security

By adopting AWS native security services and automation, La Web Shop significantly reduced ITSM operations costs. AWS native services now record every event API call and audit entry, enhancing security and compliance.

Cost Efficiency

Optimal scaling methods led to heavy optimization of scaling and provisioning techniques, resulting in substantial cost savings.

Business Continuity Assurance

Automated and replicated backups for all infrastructure and components necessary for DR ensure easy deployment and redeployment between regions, enhancing resilience against outages or deployment changes.

OUTCOMES

"Protagona’s expertise in AWS and Kubernetes has been instrumental in optimizing our infrastructure, ensuring security, and achieving cost efficiency. Their prescriptive path has significantly enhanced our operations."
