Project Metrics at a Glance

Business Challenges​

Insecure Log Management

Required centralized log storage with secure access across distributed systems for better management and accessibility.

Traffic Load Distribution

Needed a solution to balance traffic across Boomi nodes to ensure optimal performance and scalability across all systems.

Real-Time Monitoring

Needed a comprehensive monitoring solution to visualize metrics and resolve issues efficiently for smoother operations.

Data Security & Compliance

Required secure data flow to prevent unauthorized access, mitigate risks, and protect against potential DDoS attacks.

Client Goals

Scale Operations via AWS EC2
  • The goal is to deploy Boomi Molecule within an AWS EC2 environment to ensure scalability for operations.
  • By leveraging EC2’s dynamic resources, the business can expand as demand increases while maintaining optimal performance.
  • This deployment supports the distributed architecture required for handling large volumes of data across different systems.
Protecting Data with Encryption & Security
  • To safeguard sensitive business data, the client is implementing a secure data flow architecture using HTTPS, SSL, CDN, and WAF. These protocols ensure data is encrypted during transmission, preventing unauthorized access and tampering.
  • SSL certificates provide authentication for all transactions, while HTTPS enforces secure communication across networks.
High Availability with AWS NFS
  • he client is implementing a centralized log storage solution using AWS NFS (Network File System) to ensure high availability and redundancy.
  • This solution facilitates consistent and centralized access to logs across multiple systems and Boomi nodes.
Visualizing Performance Metrics with Grafana
  • To optimize operational efficiency, the client is leveraging Grafana for real-time monitoring and visualization of key performance metrics.
  • Grafana’s customizable dashboards allow the client to track system performance, monitor resource usage, and identify issues instantly.
Efficient Traffic Distribution Across Nodes
  • To ensure optimal performance and prevent system overload, the client is implementing load balancing across Boomi nodes.
  • The load balancing solution distributes incoming traffic evenly, ensuring that no single node bears excessive traffic, which can lead to performance degradation.
  • By utilizing a round-robin or DNS-based load balancing strategy, the client can dynamically manage network traffic and ensure uptime during high-demand periods.
