Part of a team tasked with building scalable microservices that replaced the legacy monolithic API for an e-commerce platform to handle the increase in growing traffic. The products microservice was stress tested to ensure the service could handle increased traffic during sales and promotions for the e-commerce platform. All services were tested on EC2 t2.micro instances.
- Designed a read-optimized Postgres DB achieving queries under 7ms on over 10 million rows of product data
- Ensured low latency (69ms) and 0.00% error rate for fast reliable consumption of the Products Microservice
- Stress tested microservice to ensure it could handle over 600k requests per minute with 0% error rate and low latency response.
- Utilized K6 and New Relic to pinpoint system bottlenecks in local development and in the cloud (AWS)
- Implemented Nginx to balance the traffic using a least connection load balancing strategy and caching.
