Challenges and Scope of Work
The gifting app company lacks the optimizing performance of applications on AWS infrastructure. It required careful monitoring, tuning, and potentially redesigning certain aspects of the architecture to fully harness the benefits of cloud scalability and reliability.
While AWS offers cost-effective solutions, improper usage or misconfiguration leads the company to unexpected costs.
Migrating to new server architecture resulted in downtime and disruptions to services. It affected business operations and potentially caused dissatisfaction among users.
Existing legacy systems did not seamlessly integrate with AWS services. Hence, it required significant effort to migrate data and functionality.

Successful Outcomes
Habib’s experience with Figzol has been truly transformative. The company embarked on the endeavor to overhaul its server architecture and fully utilize the capabilities of Amazon Web Services (AWS). However, Figzol emerged as the indispensable partner the company hadn't realized it needed.
One of the most significant indicators of progress was the substantial enhancement in the company’s system performance metrics. Load times were slashed ensuring a smoother and more responsive user experience. This improvement is directly correlated with user engagement, a pivotal factor in the project's success.
The project aimed to minimize system downtime, and the company achieved this goal with flying colors. Downtime incidents decreased, resulting in uninterrupted service availability and bolstering user trust in the platform. This reduction in downtime directly contributed to a boost in customer satisfaction levels.
Scalability was a key focus, and the metrics bear witness to the company’s progress. The company’s system could now handle more concurrent users without performance degradation. This scalability translated to an increase in user base, directly impacting the reach and market share.
The gifting app company set out to optimize costs without compromising on quality. The project's cost-efficiency measures resulted in a reduction in operational expenses. This outcome not only met the financial objectives of the company but also demonstrated its commitment to responsible resource management.
Challenges and Scope of Work
