The Need
Challenges
Legacy Labyrinth
The project was burdened by an aging codebase with unresolved bugs, making it challenging to maintain and scale.
Performance Bottlenecks
Slow loading times and unresponsive data visualisations hampered user experience, leading to frustration.
Resource Drain
The AWS resource usage was inefficient, resulting in unnecessary expenses that needed addressing.
Strategies and Solutions
Code Cleanup and Bug Fixing
Our team conducted a thorough code review, fixing major bugs, and removing unnecessary code. This not only improved the site's performance but also streamlined future development efforts.
Database Restructuring
We undertook a comprehensive restructuring of the database, optimising its architecture for efficiency. This included adding indexes and creating summary tables to reduce real-time data calculations, thereby enhancing performance.
User Management
The AWS resource usage was inefficient, resulting in unnecessary expenses that needed addressing.
Data Visualisation Optimisation
By refactoring queries and optimising data retrieval processes, we ensured that graphs and data visualisations loaded swiftly, improving the overall user experience.
Error Handling Protocols
Components receiving data from hardware were fortified with robust error-handling protocols to ensure data integrity and system stability.
Cost-Efficient AWS Usage
Through optimisations in resource utilisation and performance improvements, we achieved significant cost savings for the client's AWS infrastructure.
