CIL Builds Etiaba with AWS Native Services:
About the Customer
Connecting Numbers Limited engaged CIL to build Etiaba; Etiaba is a complete solution that facilitates the management of customer sales, purchases, inventory, and point of sale (POS).
It supports multichannel integrations with Amazon API Gateway and offers restful and https services microservices. Real-time notifications are provided to users regarding important business events, including new sales, low inventory alerts, and payment reminders, which was a crucial requirement for the service.
To fulfill this need, the CIL team designed the solution using a suite of Amazon Web Services (AWS), including AWS API Gateway, Amazon Cognito, Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS), AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, Aurora Serverless, Amazon Cloudfront and Amazon AppSync.
The Etiaba team understands the significant opportunity in the market for accounting and business management solutions. With the increasing shift towards digital operations in businesses, the demand for tools that can automate and streamline financial processes is growing. Etiaba aims to provide a comprehensive solution for managing customer sales, purchases, inventory, and point of sale (POS). The app's main objective is to offer specialized features that enable users to securely and conveniently collaborate and share financial information with their colleagues, partners, and customers. By leveraging the power of AWS services, the team believes that they can continue to innovate and offer new features that will attract and retain a significant number of consumer and enterprise customers.
The challenge
The client (Etiaba), was facing several challenges that were
affecting their online presence and user experience. The
website was slow to load, resulting in high latency and poor
user experience. The client also had concerns about the
security of online transactions, and they wanted a reliable
content delivery network (CDN) to enhance the website's
performance.
Additionally, the client needed a scalable solution that could
handle sudden surges in traffic without downtime or
interruptions. They needed a solution that was flexible,
reliable, and easy to manage.
The Solution
To address these challenges, our team developed a comprehensive solution that leveraged the power of Amazon Cloudfront to improve website performance and user experience. By using Amazon Cloudfront, we were able to distribute content through a global network of servers, reducing latency and improving load times. This led to a significant improvement in website performance and user experience.
We used serverless applications that made use of AWS services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon API Gateway to create a scalable and reliable platform. We used AWS Lambda to execute code and scale automatically, while Amazon DynamoDB provided a flexible and scalable NoSQL database that could handle large amounts of data. This made the solution easily scalable, ensuring that the client's website could handle sudden surges in traffic without downtime or interruptions.
We also implemented a robust architecture that could handle sudden surges in traffic without downtime or interruptions. We added a layer of security to ensure that all online transactions were secure and protected against cyber threats.
How we used AWS as part of the Solution
Amazon Cloudfront: We used Amazon Cloudfront to distribute
content through a global network of servers, reducing latency
and improving website performance.
AWS Lambda: We used AWS Lambda to execute code and scale
automatically, enabling the website to handle sudden surges in
traffic without downtime or interruptions.
Amazon DynamoDB: We used Amazon DynamoDB to provide a flexible
and scalable NoSQL database that could handle large amounts of
data.
Amazon API Gateway: We used Amazon API Gateway to create,
deploy, and manage APIs at scale, enabling us to create a
fully managed platform that was easy to manage.
The result
After implementing our solution, the client's website performance improved significantly. The page load times reduced from an average of 6 seconds to under 2 seconds. This led to an increase in website traffic and a boost in online sales.
The client was also able to handle sudden spikes in traffic without any downtime or interruptions, thanks to the scalable architecture that we implemented. Finally, the added layer of security ensured that all online transactions were secure and protected against cyber threats.
