Custom High-Load Systems Development
If you anticipate that your system will face increasing load, and traditional architectural approaches cannot provide the technical capability to handle expected (immediate or future) loads, our high-load system architecture is the ideal solution for you.
System Load Capacity
High-load systems typically deal with loads starting from hundreds or thousands, in some cases tens of thousands or more requests per second.
High-Load System Development Process
We first take time to understand your business goals and expected load (initial system operation and later).
We select a technological stack based on the goals defined.
We develop a performance testing subsystem considering the expected load and system specifics.
We build a minimal system prototype to measure performance.
We conduct tests and make necessary changes to the prototype until all the desired metrics are achieved.
Deployment & Monitoring
High-load systems are often deployed in the cloud but can also be on-premise infrastructure.
When deploying the system, we use Kubernetes and Terraform (or OpenTofu).
We create a monitoring subsystem at all times for real-time monitoring of all critical system metrics, including an alert system to warn administrators about potential issues or resource shortages via messengers.
We also create a safeguard system for emergencies. This subsystem halts system operations in case of failures, preventing possible losses (financial or reputational) if a system component malfunctions.
Our Expertise
We have extensive expertise in building high-load systems, composed of multiple components, with certain components present in multiple instances depending on the load. Our developed high-load systems can auto-scale based on the current load, including autonomously acquiring necessary infrastructure.
Real Project Example
Our goal is to present an example project that addresses the process and challenges of high-load system architecture for one of our clients. This case study showcases the steps we took to meet their specific needs, identifying risks, challenges, and successful development strategies.
Server Infrastructure Administration Experts
The project was related to money and trading, where any glitch could result in tens of thousands of dollars lost within mere minutes of incorrect operation.
We received a request to develop a High-Load System capable of:
Processing 100,000 requests per second
Replying within 100 ms
Getting each request to perform complex searches and several logical operations
