Real-time Messaging System with AWS API Gateway and Lambda
LearnCube is an online education platform that enables anyone, anywhere to access world-class teachers. It is designed as a virtual class room with live chat and other real-time collaborations like a whiteboard. Platform is trusted by top language schools, tutoring companies & corporate trainers like Oxford University Press, Lingoda and many others.
The Obstacles They Faced
The main obstacle LearnCube faced was scaling out their services rapidly to deal with a peak in demand as a result of Covid-19. At the same time optimizing costs was another challenge they needed to overcome.
How We Helped
Despite several small projects we had implemented for LearnCube, the main project was a real-time messaging system using AWS API Gateway with WebSockets, Lambda, and ElastiCache services, which the customer needed for synchronizing whiteboards and classroom data between students and teachers.
Romexsoft recommended Amazon's API Gateway as a fully managed service that handles APIs at any scale. It also supports two-way WebSocket messaging and events handling, which was important for LearnCube to trigger a call-back function based on the message/event type.
Cost-effective Monitoring Solution on AWS
Solution
Being a certified AWS consulting partner, Romexsoft did professional expertise of current client’s environment and decided to choose EFK cluster (Elasticsearch, FluentD and Kibana) for log monitoring, Zabbix server for infrastructure and services monitoring. To visualize metrics via dashboards the Grafana was chosen. That full-featured interactive dashboard helps observe the whole infrastructure in one place.
The solution is built on top of 3 t3.medium instances for EFK cluster and 1 t3.small instance for Zabbix server and Grafana. Grafana holds the separate dashboards with the information from EFK cluster, Zabbix and CloudWatch.
All tools we used are open source and highly flexible. Users can see all the information about the environment in one place (Grafana). EFK cluster written in the Docker-Compose and installed in the container is managed via Rancher like simple containers. Read more about our DevOps services.
The Serverless Monitoring with AWS (CloudWatch and Lambda)
Being a certified AWS consulting partner, Romexsoft did professional expertise of the current client’s environment and suggested using AWS facilities. We used Lambda function written in Python to perform a check by calling a web resource by https, CloudWatch to launch a web-check by schedule (every min). Also CloudWatch is used for alerting. If Lambda receives a response with status code different then 200 system generates an alert and pushes it through SNS into the integrated PagerDuty service and our Support 24/7 team starts the troubleshooting.
TIM Media
Business Software Solution
To help TIM reach their goal, Romexsoft first conducted a detailed assessment and inventorization of their current systems, and then stepped in as a Managed IT Services partner.
Our team set up a custom OS performance monitoring solution to enable deeper insights into CPU, RAM, Networking and Relational Databases performance. Zabbix – a robust, enterprise-grade, open source IT monitoring tool – was chosen as the main solution and configured it to match the client’s environment and needs.
Monitoring Metrics Enabled
OS performance monitoring
Logs monitoring
Web monitoring
JVM monitoring
Service monitoring
Cluster performance analysis
PHP application monitoring
Overall infrastructure health status
Redis Monitoring (no SQL in-memory database)
Relational database systems, MemSQL monitoring
Romexsoft was also selected to offer Tier 1 support services for the company’s cloud infrastructure – hosted on AWS, and partially on Google Cloud. As our tech support team demonstrated great skills and expertise, the client further extended their trust and delegated us the global system configuration rights. Our specialists now seamlessly work in the background, and fine-tune the systems 24/7 without constantly requesting access permissions or over-communicating their actions.
Yet, TIM Media team always stays in the loop. We have integrated a custom multi-level alert system that dispatches updates through different services depending on the incidents priority levels. The setup includes communication through Slack, Pagerduty, Mail and Jira Service desk. On a regular basis, the client also receives detailed findings reports with hands-on advice on how to increase their infrastructure efficiency even further. Beyond that, our team regularly schedules an infrastructure configuration analysis to ensure that all cogs run as they should.
To further bulletproof TIM’s systems and prevent downtime, Romexsoft team introduced an automated disaster recovery process. TIM Media now has a greater piece of mind when it comes to SLA levels and can focus on developing their core business further, while our support team handles the daily housekeeping tasks.
Migration from Heroku to AWS Case Study - AVA Touch
Challenges
Scale Development utilizes multiple technologies to advance their offering. Hosting the ava-touch app in the Heroku cloud, the company had to pay high prices for the services without getting enough benefits of it. At the same time, it would be less expensive and easier to manage the assets in AWS. AWS offers a wide variety of services that allow Scale Development to get desired elasticity, scalability and easy management of its cloud infrastructure.
Solution
Being a certified AWS consulting partner, Romexsoft did professional expertise of ava-touch software and environment and quickly conducted a plan of migration to AWS with its infrastructure design. Implemented cloud system utilizes the following services:
Domain Name System (Route53);
Elastic Beanstalk Service (EBS);
Elastic Container Service (ECS) with Autoscaling Configuration;
Elastic Load Balancer (ELB);
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC),
Identity Access Management (IAM);
Elastic Container Registry (ECR);
RDS (PostgreSQL);
Simple Storage Service (S3);
Monitoring and Logging (Cloud Watch).
Cost-effective Pilot Light Disaster Recovery Solution on AWS for an on-premise production environment
To enable faster disaster recovery of the critical IT systems and recover from any event that has a negative impact on the Pragma IT business Romexsoft build Pilot Light Disaster Recovery Solution using reliable AWS cloud infrastructure.
The pilot light DR scenario was chosen to keep a minimum version of the environment running in the AWS cloud.
The pilot light DR approach was delivered by configuring and running the most critical core elements of a customer’s system in AWS. When the time comes for recovery AWS infrastructure is rapidly provision a full-scale production environment around the critical one.
Romexsoft did professional expertise of Pragma IT therapyBOSS on-premises environments and software components and build a fully functional pilot light DR environment on AWS to have most core elements of the production system already configured and running on AWS.
Cost-effective AWS Infrastructure for Test Automation Suite
Challenge
Regression tests are required to be executed repeatedly with every new release or even with every code commit. This is a very time consuming routine process for QA engineers, therefore regression tests are the perfect candidates for test automation.
To deliver better customer experience, the client decided to implement an efficient cost-effective automated testing approach to catch software bugs quickly, simplify release management and increase the testability of the whole system.
Solution
The infinite on-demand scalability and the technical capabilities of the AWS platform were key reasons thetherapyBOSS team chose to work with AWS.
Romexsoft did professional expertise of client SaaS platform, business logic, user flows, test scenarios and implemented the end-to-end Test Automation Solution running on cost-effective AWS infrastructure.
Secure and effective development without access to sensitive data
The huge variety of AWS services for different cases was a key reason the SavvyMoney team chose to work with AWS. Two of them AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store and CodeCommit were used to overcome this challenge.
Microservices architecture is built in Java Spring Boot framework. Each microservice is a separate REST API that performs required business logic and is running on EC2 instance in the Autoscaling Group. Launch Configuration has attached the IAM role with read-only access to the parameter store. So any sensitive parameter is known only for the application on startup and there is no way to see it.
All sensitive configuration parameters from classic *.properties files are moved into the AWS Parameter Store and all *.property files with other parameters are moved into the CodeCommit. Spring Cloud Config service reads properties from CodeCommit and REST API application calls Spring Cloud Config for required properties on startup or on-demand refresh. Write access to Parameters store and CodeCommit has only authorized personnel.

SAVVYMONEY - FINTECH WEB APPLICATION DEVELOPMENTLive Project
At the start of the assignment, Romexsoft provided Rescue Mission service and improved website performance from 80% up to 98% by using REST architecture. This gave an opportunity for the system to maintain more than 250k users without system crashes. At the moment application is running online 24/7.
The rapid traffic growth led to a need of adding resources on Amazon Web Services every time
it happened and terminating such resources when the traffic falls in order to reduce costs. By adding an auto-scaling feature we created a cost-effective model reducing man-hours and 60k USD yearly of the total cost of Amazon Web Services resources.
Romexsoft team has helped SavvyMoney develop a new product such as SavvyMoney Credit Score which is designed to monitor financial health based on SSO solution for integration with financial business partner software systems. This solution allowed the transition into B2B model targeting on credit union users and creating co-branding pages.

NEWSMAKER - MEDIA PRODUCTION SYSTEM DEVELOPMENTLive Project
We developed News Maker – a cutting-edge high-performance news and media production system for different types of users – journalists, editors, video designers, sound producers, voice-over and subtitle specialists, etc.
To simplify content production process Romexsoft developed a video workflow automation for a file-based content system (including automated content assembly). As a result, the system needed less
manpower which led to cost-saving – 9 working places instead of 12 ones which included additional paperwork and the cost of phone calls.
Developing a custom media production system instead of buying a ready solution and improving its functionality helped save costs up to 90%.

COLORJIVE - ONLINE GRAPHIC EDITOR DEVELOPMENT
Romexsoft developed Colorjive Lite 2.0 – an HTML5 application which allows users to perform full paint job in less than 10 minutes. The technology is based on the idea that color involves three participants: light, surface, and an observer. Integrating this technology gave Colorjive a competitive advantage as most color-matching software only takes the surface into account using an RGB calculation.
For better
distinguishing between objects and greater use of color, The Paint Bucket algorithm has been used, which gave an opportunity to process images more quickly and increase user engagement.
New design enhanced user experience, making the application easy to use and highly serviceable.
Developing Colorjive Widgets increased Colorjinn’s income by allowing the transition into B2B model targeting on design studios besides independent designers.
