A scalable bidding platform built on the MERN stack, serving over 20,000 active users
I led the deployment and infrastructure management of the Self Storage Auction Platform on AWS, ensuring zero downtime, high availability, and seamless user experience during traffic spikes. The architecture is engineered with CI/CD pipelines, auto-scaling, Elastic Load Balancers, and automated database backups to handle dynamic bidding traffic for over 20,000 active users.
Provisioned cloud-native services (EC2, RDS, ALB, S3) using Terraform and AWS CLI for consistent infrastructure. Integrated Route 53 for domain and traffic management with health checks.
Built automated deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions. Enabled staged rollouts (dev → staging → prod) with rollback strategies.
Configured Auto Scaling Groups and Elastic Load Balancers to distribute load across application nodes. Used Amazon CloudWatch alarms for proactive scaling triggers.
Automated daily backups for MongoDB stored securely in Amazon S3 with lifecycle policies and encryption.
Managed user roles and bidding permissions securely via JWT tokens and secure cookies. Hardened infrastructure with IAM policies, VPC rules, and Security Groups.
Achieved fast and consistent performance under load via Nginx optimizations (caching, compression, routing) and API optimization with MongoDB indexing.
Implemented blue-green deployment strategy with GitHub Actions for seamless production updates without service interruption
Configured predictive auto-scaling with CloudWatch metrics to handle 10x traffic surges during peak bidding hours
Designed automated backup and disaster recovery system with cross-region replication for 100% data availability
