TestGenie AWS Well Architected Case Study

Solution

Automated capability to Load and Behavioral testing workloads

TestGenie intends to serve for efficient load testing, behavioral testing and log management. For each new customer, new Accounts must be created based on their production infrastructure/environment. As Kloia, we suggested an IaC approach with Terraform for this case. The AWS resources that must be produced for each client have been specified as a Terraform Module and version controlled in their respective Terraform Cloud Private Registry.

Multi Cluster Management 

When Amazon EKS is used, its user-friendliness is combined with AWS's capabilities, reliability, and performance. Each of the workload accounts has an EKS cluster, and a centralized management for them was required. 

Cost Optimization - Running workloads at a lower cost.

For non-critical tasks, it is advantageous to use EC2 Spot instances to optimize costs. We designated environments for staging and development as non-critical workloads. After a few months of development and staging, EC2 expenditures were reduced by about 60 percent compared to a standard production account.

In-house Serverless CI/CD Pipeline

The search for a suitable CI/CD tool was in vain, so we created a CI/CD Pipeline with using several AWS services such as SQS, Fargate, DynamoDB. 

This custom CI/CD Pipeline supports rolling updates on live hosts and it also creates EC2 Images to use with Auto Scaling Groups at the same time. 

Centralized Log Management

We have created an AWS Log Account for centralized logging. 

• We have created log export logic for the managed services and CI/CD pipeline components. It exports logs to an S3 log bucket in the Log Account. These logs are also accessible in the Cloudwatch logs.
