The Problem

E-commerce platforms face extreme traffic volatility and global latency issues that can lead to cart abandonment and lost revenue.

What I Built

Built "Swiftly," a robust, globally-cached commerce infrastructure on AWS. The system focuses on high-availability, secure content delivery, and sub-second page loads for global users.

Architecture & Approach

Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) managed environment with an S3-backed static frontend, CloudFront for global Edge caching, and a multi-AZ VPC for the secure backend API layer.

Impact & Results

Reduced global page load times by 65% through aggressive Edge caching.

Maintained 99.99% uptime during high-traffic "flash sale" simulations.

Reduced deployment time for new environments from days to under 30 minutes.

Key Decisions & Tradeoffs

Chose a hybrid CloudFront/EC2 approach over a purely Serverless one to maintain strict control over persistent database connections and legacy API integrations.
