Application Performance Assessment and Optimization using AWS CloudFront

Overview

Whether you are running a new start-up, medium-sized business or a massive enterprise, investing in CloudFront implementation and optimization strengthens content delivery to your end customers.

At 10Pearls, our AWS and CloudFront teams conduct a thorough technical analysis of your application and AWS architecture, identifying key performance indicators and bottlenecks. We then provide expert recommendations for leveraging CloudFront to optimize content delivery and improve user experience. Our approach includes identifying the appropriate caching strategies, implementing advanced features such as Lambda@Edge, and configuring CloudFront to work seamlessly with other AWS services.

10Pearls offers several services related to CloudFront optimizations. These include:

1. CloudFront Log Analyzer: This service provides detailed analysis and reporting of CloudFront access logs. It helps identify performance issues, errors, and usage patterns and provides insights to help you optimize your CloudFront distribution.

2. CloudFront Security and Compliance: Ensures the security and compliance of your CloudFront distribution. It provides features such as access control, encryption, and compliance with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.

3. CloudFront Mobile Detection and Optimization: Optimizes your CloudFront distribution for mobile devices. It detects mobile devices and provides optimized content delivery to improve the user experience for mobile users.

4. CloudFront Image Optimization: Provides image optimization for CloudFront distributions. It helps reduce image file sizes, improve load times, and enhance the user experience.

5. CloudFront Video Optimization: Optimizes video delivery for different devices and networks, reduces buffering and improves the overall user experience. CloudFront performance assessments and configurations are followed by performance testing to gauge the effectiveness of optimizations. These tests are conducted by cloud specialists using manual testing methodologies to assess the optimizations achieved.

10Pearls CloudFront Optimization Projects are delivered by our dynamic engineering team, with deep knowledge and expertise of CloudFront and AWS services. Our work includes building and executing solutions spanning CloudFront performance optimization, DevOps automation, security, and data.

Deliverables

The deliverables for a CloudFront project typically include:

• A comprehensive design document detailing the proposed CloudFront architecture and configuration, deployment scripts and templates for automating the provisioning and management of CloudFront resources, and a detailed testing plan for validating the performance and security of the CloudFront distribution.
• Documentation outlining best practices for using CloudFront and recommendations for ongoing management and optimization of the distribution.
• Throughout the project, regular status updates and progress reports are provided to ensure alignment with project objectives and timelines.

Key Steps of Project Cycle

1. Project discussion call with the customer and stakeholders to understand the key requirements.
2. AWS Certified Solutions Architects and industry experts from 10Pearls then carry out detailed performance optimization analysis that can be achieved for both static and dynamic content using CloudFront on the environment provided by the customer.
3. The project closure is achieved when the stakeholder signs off agreement that the CloudFront application performance improvement activity has been completed.
4. Post security analysis, 10Pearls offers 24/7 support via blue team which monitors the infrastructure 24/7/365.

Project Execution and Updates

Communication is key to any project’s success. Our certified AWS engineers and AWS architects work on the project keeping the customer updated about the progress on daily and weekly basis. Our engineers perform end-to-end CloudFront implementation and performance testing of the entire system to ensure that all the performance improvements with respect to CloudFront have been implemented, tested and reported before handoff to the customer.
