Logiciel Solutions, an AWS Partner, helped AdLaunch move from a single-server architecture to a containerized platform built on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). The previous environment left the platform dependent on one Amazon EC2 instance, creating a single point of failure and limiting its ability to respond to changing demand.
By introducing containerized application services, load balancing, and automated scaling, Logiciel established a more resilient and scalable foundation for AdLaunch’s continued growth.
The whole platform ran on a single Amazon EC2 instance: a single point of failure with no load balancing and no automated scaling.
AdLaunch initially operated its platform on a single Amazon EC2 instance. While this architecture supported the platform’s early needs, it created operational constraints as the business grew.
With application workloads concentrated on one server, the environment had a single point of failure. If the instance experienced performance degradation or became unavailable, the platform could be affected because no alternative application capacity was available to take over.
Troubleshooting infrastructure incidents competed with development work, and the existing architecture offered limited flexibility for handling growth.
One Amazon EC2 instance carried every application workload, with no alternative capacity to take over.
Without a load balancer, incoming traffic could not be spread across application instances.
Responding to changes in demand meant manual adjustment.
Infrastructure troubleshooting pulled the engineering team away from product work.
Distributing application workloads across healthy targets reduces the risk that an individual task failure will interrupt the entire service, provided sufficient healthy capacity remains available.
Automated scaling lets the platform adjust the number of application tasks as demand changes, subject to configured scaling policies and available infrastructure capacity.
Containerized applications provide a consistent packaging and deployment model, making application releases easier to manage.
CloudWatch logs, metrics, and alarms help the engineering team monitor application health and investigate issues.
The updated architecture reduces reliance on manual, single-server management and gives the team more flexibility to focus on application development and platform improvements.
The platform no longer rests on a single Amazon EC2 instance.
Load balancing and scaling policies handle traffic fluctuations without manual intervention.
A more manageable base for future development and AdLaunch’s evolving operational requirements.
If one instance still carries your platform, let’s design a more resilient, scalable path on AWS together.
