Motivation
The main objective was to redesign the banking service architecture to optimize its performance. The mobile application was taking around 15 seconds to load due to an inefficient monolithic backend service. The Azati team’s goal was to break down the service into smaller, independent microservices to improve scalability, speed, and stability.
Main Challenges
The team had to decide between using a third-party cloud provider or creating a self-managed cloud architecture, considering factors like safety, legislation, and development time.
Migrating from a monolithic architecture to a microservices-based solution required careful planning and approval from various stakeholders, making the transition slow and challenging.
The existing service was making multiple small SQL requests instead of one complex query, causing delays due to additional post-processing and excessive resource usage.
Key Features
- Microservices Architecture: The system was split into several smaller, independent microservices, improving scalability and resource management.
- Cloud-based Infrastructure: The new design utilized cloud-based microservices to handle load distribution and reduce single points of failure.
- Optimized Performance: By eliminating unnecessary requests and optimizing SQL queries, the overall system performance was significantly improved.
- Separate Operation History: Moving the operation history to a different screen improved the app’s loading time and overall user experience.
Our Approach
Project Impact
Improved mobile app performance: Azati's redesign significantly improved the mobile app's performance, reducing load times and enhancing scalability.
Increased system stability: The transition to microservices led to increased stability, ensuring that service failures didn’t affect the entire system.
Enhanced scalability and flexibility: The new architecture provided scalability and flexibility, enabling easier scaling of services based on demand and fostering a more robust infrastructure.
Better operational efficiency and user satisfaction: The customer experienced enhanced operational efficiency and better end-user satisfaction.
Future development plans: The customer postponed further development due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Azati plans to finalize the MVP once conditions improve.
