Boxo
(E-Commerce & Analytics Platform)
Boxo is a scalable e-commerce and analytics platform designed to support high-volume product listings, transactional workflows, and real-time analytics. To meet modern business demands, the platform was architected with a multi-cloud, microservices-based backend and full CI/CD automation, enabling rapid feature delivery, fault tolerance, and seamless developer experience.
Project Challenges
- Scalability & High Availability: The platform needed to support large-scale traffic spikes during peak sales periods, with minimal latency and no single point of failure.
- Environment Isolation: Required strict separation between staging and production environments to reduce deployment risk.
- Multi-cloud Deployment: Stakeholders mandated the use of both AWS and GCP to leverage cost efficiencies and avoid vendor lock-in.
- CI/CD Automation: Developers needed a fast, automated release process with support for rollback, gated approvals, and per-environment configuration.
- Unified Monitoring & Secrets Management: Secure and centralized handling of credentials and system observability across clouds.
Solutions
- Provisioned multi-cloud infrastructure using Terraform, deploying services on AWS ECS and GCP GKE with managed databases (RDS, Cloud SQL).
- Enabled auto-scaling, redundancy, and isolated environments for staging and production.
- Automated deployments via AWS CodePipeline (ECS) and Jenkins (GKE) with support for rollbacks and approvals.
- Set up centralized monitoring and secret management using CloudWatch, Prometheus, and native secret managers.
Results and Impact
- By designing a resilient, automated, and scalable DevOps framework, Boxo achieved:
- Faster and safer deployments
- Improved system reliability
- A foundation for continuous innovation across multiple cloud platforms
- This architecture empowers Boxo to deliver exceptional e-commerce experiences and real-time analytics at scale.
