Development and support of High-Load IT projects

A Highload project can handle from 1 million to 100 million visits per day. High loads entail a risk of a service failure or malfunction: images or videos would not upload or servers would not handle the load. This can lead to negative customer feedback and lower sales. We develop websites ready for mass visits and ensure trust to the resource.

Customers:

Internet resources with 1 million visitors per month or more
Companies with one-off promotional campaigns that cause a sharp increase in website visitors
Online stores before Black Friday and Cyber Monday

Website failure is a negative experience for users: it damages the company's reputation and results in negative feedback. To save the cost of solving the website failure issue, it is more expedient to test the resource in advance and ensure its high-load resistance. Testing, customizing IT architecture, handling databases and using relevant programming languages ensures the reliability of a high-load IT project.

Highload today is an engineering discipline that begins with measuring the performance of the existing system and aligning it with business expectations, for example:
RPS - number of requests per second
TTFB - time to first byte

Then the system architecture or its part is selected according to the metrics and system elements and interaction techniques (web server, event and data buses, programming languages, clustering technologies) corresponding to the future load and necessary reliability level are identified. Only then the functionality is implemented along with the selected solutions and technology stack. Highload development is impossible without daily qualified support from DevOps engineers with relevant experience in developing complex multi-component solutions and administering system servers and services.
