Alışgidiş's Digital Infrastructure: Redefined with Huawei Cloud

The success behind Alışgidiş lies in its infrastructure, which can quickly respond to changing business needs and deliver a seamless user experience. By continuously updating its digital infrastructure with the solution architecture provided by Huawei Cloud, Alışgidiş ensures the highest performance and security standards. This approach has enabled the company to increase efficiency in business processes while significantly reducing management costs:

Solution Architecture

Data Layers:

• DocumentDB: Alışgidiş uses DocumentDB for fast, secure storage and management of document-based data. This solution ensures easy access to data while offering high performance and flexibility, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.
• RDS (Relational Database Service): RDS is optimized to manage and store Alışgidiş’s large-scale data. With features like high availability, automatic backups, and rapid recovery, it ensures smooth database operations.
• OBS (Object Storage Service): OBS is an object storage solution used to securely store and manage large volumes of data. It meets backup and archiving needs while ensuring quick access to the data.

Security & Network Layers:

• VPN (Virtual Private Network): These solutions ensure the security of Alışgidiş's data traffic by isolating it. Additionally, access control guarantees that sensitive data is only accessible to authorized users.
• ELB (Elastic Load Balancing): ELB is used to optimize Alışgidiş's web traffic and distribute it evenly across servers.

Middleware Layers:

• DMS for RabbitMQ: RabbitMQ, which facilitates messaging between microservices in Alışgidiş's systems, is integrated with the DMS service. This accelerates data transmission between system components and increases the efficiency of business processes.
• DCS (Distributed Cache Service): Alışgidiş uses DCS to enhance performance. This solution provides high-speed caching, accelerating data access and optimizing system loads.
• CCE (Cloud Container Engine): CCE manages Alışgidiş's application deployment processes. This Kubernetes-based service makes it easier to scale and manage containerized applications.

Alarm & Monitoring:

• Cloud Eye: Cloud Eye supports alarm and monitoring features in Alışgidiş's systems, allowing operational issues to be quickly detected and resolved.

The Path to Success

The cloud transformation that Alışgidiş has achieved with Huawei Cloud has not only brought significant benefits in terms of security and performance but also in accelerating business processes and enhancing operational flexibility. Through this transformation, Alışgidiş has been able to:

• Reduce Operational Costs with Zero Downtime: Alışgidiş successfully achieved their planned Go-to-Market strategies with Huawei Cloud, reducing operational costs while maintaining zero downtime.
• Accelerate System Integration: Within just 20 days, Alışgidiş significantly sped up its system integration processes, delivering twice as high performance to its users.
• Shorten Deployment Cycle: The ability to deploy new resources in an average of one week, with some processes taking as little as 5 minutes, has brought speed and efficiency to Alışgidiş's business operations. This rapid deployment is further supported by the robust infrastructure provided by Huawei Cloud, including the use of CCE for container management and DCS for caching, which optimize performance and resource utilization.
• Improve Security and Compliance: The enhanced security architecture, including WAF, VPN, Access Control, detailed subnet design, security groups, and seamless integration with bank security products, has ensured that Alışgidiş meets stringent security and compliance requirements, safeguarding customer data and maintaining high trust levels.
• Enhance Monitoring and Response: With the integration of Cloud Eye, Alışgidiş has significantly improved its monitoring and alerting capabilities. This allows the company to detect and resolve operational issues swiftly, ensuring minimal disruption and maintaining a high-quality user experience.

• Optimize Resource Management: The combination of DocumentDB, RDS, and OBS allows Alışgidiş to manage large-scale data efficiently, ensuring quick access, reliable backups, and streamlined data operations. This, along with the optimized traffic management through ELB and WAF, ensures that Alışgidiş can handle high traffic volumes seamlessly.

This strategic partnership between Alışgidiş and Huawei Cloud stands out as a step that will shape not just today's but also the future's shopping experiences. Alışgidiş, the new address of smart shopping, is redefining the customer experience with reliable and flexible payment options while reinforcing its success with advanced technology solutions provided by Huawei Cloud.
