Challenge

The Challenge

Sprect needed to modernize their technical infrastructure while maintaining zero downtime for active users. The platform faced performance bottlenecks, cache invalidation issues, and required migration from Cloudflare to AWS services for better control and cost optimization. Additionally, they needed advanced search capabilities to help users find relevant professional consultants more effectively.

Approach

Our Approach

We implemented a comprehensive technical transformation using modern cloud architecture principles, performance optimization techniques, and advanced search technology while maintaining continuous service availability.

Conducted thorough infrastructure audit and performance baseline analysis using GTMetrix and WebPageTest

Designed migration strategy from Cloudflare to AWS Route53, CloudFront, and Amplify with zero-downtime deployment

Implemented serverless search backend using AWS OpenSearch, Lambda functions, and API Gateway

Optimized frontend performance through asset optimization, caching strategies, and code splitting improvements

Solution

What We Delivered

We architected a modern, scalable infrastructure built on AWS services including Route53 for DNS management, CloudFront for CDN, and serverless compute for search functionality. The new search system used OpenSearch with Lambda-based APIs, while frontend optimizations included S3-based asset delivery and intelligent caching. We maintained the existing Laravel backend while enhancing it with improved deployment workflows and monitoring.

Results

The infrastructure transformation resulted in significantly improved performance metrics and operational efficiency. Frontend optimization reduced LCP scores from 6-8 seconds to 3-5 seconds, while the new serverless search architecture provided sub-second response times with advanced filtering capabilities. The migration to AWS services improved cost predictability and system reliability.
