The Store Locator is a high-traffic application used to help customers find stores nearest to a given location. Information returned about a store includes: facilities, opening hours and concessions. The original version of this application was rewritten to be an Isomorphic, NodeJS application with a new environment to match.
Key Points:

• Lead Devops Engineer on the project
• Architected and implemented the whole platform for all environments with a comprehensive infrastructure-as-code approach using Ansible, Cloudformation and Vagrant
• Scalable and robust performance was sustained at peak times by putting the EC2 instances behind an ELB and using auto scaling groups. A performance-tuned Nginx web server was also used to proxy requests to the NodeJS webserver.
• Full platform and application monitoring was implemented using AWS Cloudwatch and an ELK stack
