Acquired By Commsor In September 2021.
Key Results
- Faster Segmentation Processing
- 48000X
- Yes that's 4 Hours to 300ms
- Lower Infrastructure Costs
- 40%
- Engineered a prototype To illustrate the potential of executing Port's business computations within a fully reactive-serverless and real-time framework, thereby showcasing a real-time system in action.
- Construct a wholly serverless batch processing For the initial fetching of large communities, I opted for a more suitable tooling approach which was quicker to develop and launch within the ecosystem, leveraging Spark technology. This system spins up entirely to process thousands of records at once, with the spun-up cluster size depending on the expected data size, ensuring that we are capable of fetching large communities in mere minutes.
- Both Deliverables obove, including infrastructure, were defined in code and fully automated, with code-tested infrastructure utilizing Terraform alongside the AWS Serverless Application Model.
