SUCCESS STORY
/ Dika Solutions
About the Customer
Dika Solutions/Movitek is an Ecuadorian company specializing in technological solutions for traffic control. Acting as a technological bridge between Decentralized Autonomous Governments (GADs) and the national traffic regulatory entity (ANT), the company ensures efficient and timely processing of traffic infractions. Dika Solutions focuses on enhancing road safety and improving infraction management through innovative technology.
Customer Challenge
Dika Solutions faced the complex challenge of developing a scalable and reliable software platform capable of managing traffic infractions captured by speed and red-light radars. The system needed to meet critical operational requirements:
1. High scalability
The platform had to dynamically adapt to variations in user demand and data volume, ensuring uninterrupted service during peak usage periods.
2. 24/7 availability
Continuous availability was essential to support real-time operations and ensure the timely issuance of infractions.
3. Reliable performance
The system needed to process and integrate data quickly to maintain low response times and operational efficiency.
Impact and Risks:
If this challenge remained unresolved, it would hinder the management and transmission of traffic infractions to the regulatory entity (ANT). This could lead to increased traffic accidents, financial losses for GADs, and non-compliance with road safety regulations. Moreover, the inability to implement effective road control strategies would compromise public safety.
Partner Solution
Kruger Corporation designed and implemented a modern web application based on a microservices and microfrontends architecture to address the client’s needs. The solution leveraged several AWS services to ensure scalability, performance, and availability:
1. Infrastructure and Orchestration:
- AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS): Orchestrated Docker containers to efficiently deploy microservices across multiple nodes.
- Amazon EC2: Provided scalable computing power to host Kubernetes nodes.
2. Data Management and Storage:
- Amazon Elastic File System (EFS): Deployed as persistent storage in Kubernetes to manage large data volumes, such as violation logs.
- Amazon RDS (PostgreSQL): Ensured centralized, highly available, and secure relational database storage for infractions data.
3. Load Balancing and Backup:
ELB (Elastic Load Balancer): Distributed traffic load efficiently to cluster nodes.
Amazon S3: Utilized for storing critical backups and logs.
4. Network Security:
- AWS VPC (Virtual Private Cloud): Implemented for network isolation, enhancing data security and reliability.
The entire ecosystem was containerized using Docker, allowing rapid deployment and management of services. By utilizing AWS managed services, the solution minimized downtime and reduced implementation complexity.
Support Services:
Kruger provided end-to-end support, including pre-implementation consultancy, real-time migration assistance, and post-implementation monitoring. Customized training sessions ensured Dika Solutions’ team could maintain and optimize the application effectively.
Results and Benefits
The implemented solution yielded transformative results for Dika Solutions, addressing their initial challenges and delivering measurable benefits:
These improvements strengthened Dika Solutions’ ability to support GADs in road safety initiatives, fostering a safer traffic environment.
