It offers a diverse range of products that represent Nepal’s rich artistic tradition. Manushicraft has consumers in Nepal and around the world. With EC2 Autoscaling, Manushicraft seeks a robust and scalable solution to boost their online presence and streamline operations, to match the increasing demand for their antique items,

Problem Faced by Manushicraft:

Manushicraft has been using IT infrastructure to keep up with ongoing global e-commerce demand. As Manushicraft’s global ambitions grew, their existing resources and IT infrastructure could not handle the expanding demands of global e-commerce. It was facing challenges when scaling its web platform to accommodate seasonal peaks and fluctuating demands. They also lack internal IT resources specialized in managing and optimizing AWS resources as well as negotiating AWS billing procedures within the context of local Nepali financial practices, providing substantial administrative challenges.

The system was facing major downtime as they were not able to scale their applications in time. Manushicraft’s team needed to focus on their core business of crafting and exporting rather than dealing with the complexity of server maintenance and system management. Finally, they required a comprehensive cloud solution that provided scalability, cost-effectiveness, local billing support, and managed services to enable their global expansion.

Solution Provided By Us- EC2 Autoscaling

After facing challenges and problems while scaling their site with growing international demand, Manushicraft recognized the need for specialized expertise. They found a strategic partner in Cloudlaya, an experienced AWS Partner based in Nepal, who offered a customized approach centered on leveraging the power and flexibility of AWS with DevOps services. As a trusted AWS partner, we optimized Manushicraft’s AWS architecture with DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). There were numerous crucial components to our solution. We started with migrating the site from an existing platform to a robust and scalable AWS infrastructure.

We used Amazon EC2 to provide flexible and scalable compute capacity, which helped in handling varying workloads, traffic and future growth. We implemented reserved instances and saving plans to reduce monthly AWS expenses. Autoscaling policies were implemented to upscale or downscale the application according to the demand. We implemented CI/CD pipelines using AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeDeploy which helped in deploying applications more faster and reliable. Various security measures were applied using AWS IAM best practices. To maintain system stability and availability, monitoring tools like AWS CLoudWatch and Grafana were used. Automated response system was integrated to reduce downtime and improve reliability.

Furthermore, cost was optimized using cloudlaya’s own platform, CostQ. It helped in identifying unused resources and utilizing existing resources in a cost optimized way. This helped Manushicraft to decrease their AWS expenses and focus more on their business plan and customer acquisition. Cloudlaya has become the top cloud service and DevOps solution in Nepal. Choosing Cloudlaya means getting all of these features for your website or business.
