Resident World Overview
Lyraintel / Resident World provides automated solutions to real estate. Resident World is building a product that will engage residents of different properties and apartments through mobile apps and provide them useful information that matches their interests and needs. Residents can get the targeted offers based on the demographics.
Goals
- To provide a fully scripted infrastructure as code to setup and replicate the whole environment.
- To implement CI with test integration to facilitate tested deployments onto different environments and to be able to have quick feedback for developers.
- To setup logging and monitoring mechanism to get alerts in case of failure and to be aware of system health at any given time.
Challenge
- To setup fully automated alerts mechanism for errors in microservices. Newly created microservices were used to get registered automatically with the alert mechanism without any human interaction.
- To write reusable CloudFormation templates to provision infrastructure of all the environments using the same.
- To enable small, independent deployments of each component of the system.
- To ensure quality by integrating code quality within the CI process.
Delivered Solution
- CloudFormation Based Infrastructure Stack
CloudFormation templates were written to setup different environments based on parameters using the same template. - Serverless Templates to provision Microservices
Serverless templates were written to provision resources for micro services. - CircleCI based CI Stack
CircleCI was used to implement continuous integration in each component of the system. It has multiple phases, including linting and integration tests which helped in maintaining quality of code. - Monitoring and Alerts using CloudWatch and SumoLogic
CloudWatch based alerts mechanism were setup to send alerts right away in case of any failure. It was fully automated solution i.e. arrangement was made for the new microservices to get registered with the solution automatically. Dashboards and analytics about system health were set up in SumoLogic.
