With the managed services in AWS, Jumpshare was also able to reduce the amount of staffing resource needed for basic IT administration. “It has meant that, even with the limited budget of a startup, we have been able to create an infrastructure that can scale to support 500,000 users.” Furthermore, because Jumpshare had chosen a cloud-based infrastructure, it could easily scale the Jumpshare platform as demand for the service rises. “Compared to the on-premises infrastructure that we used, AWS is at least 70 percent more cost-effective,” says Bilal. Other AWS services the company uses are Amazon CloudFront-to maximize data speeds between its servers and customers’ endpoints, such as desktops-and Amazon CloudWatch, to monitor service performance and collect log files.īy launching its service on the AWS Cloud, Jumpshare significantly reduced the costs of its IT. When users request to share a file, the file is uploaded, and then the Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) schedules processing by the file-conversion server. Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) stores data relating to user profiles. Jumpshare also uses Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) to store preview images of the files being shared.
“We use Amazon EC2 instances ranging from t2.micro to c3.2xlarge,” says Bilal, “from the smallest instance for our network server to some of AWS’s biggest instances for our file-conversion server.” We did all the work in-house.”Īt the heart of the AWS infrastructure supporting Jumpshare are Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances.
Jumpshare reviews code#
We simply set up a machine along with the code base on the AWS Cloud and that was it. Everything was up and running in no time. Says Bilal, “The migration to AWS was very easy.
The company migrated the Jumpshare service from an on-premises infrastructure to the AWS Cloud in time for its launch.
“If we had a question around an AWS service, it wouldn’t be difficult to find the answer online,” Bilal comments. What’s more, Jumpshare felt that developing its service on AWS would be made easier by the documentation that AWS makes available. “The consensus was that AWS offered the scalability, performance, and services to make the launch of Jumpshare a success,” says Bilal. Jumpshare founder Ghaus Iftikhar, had prior experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) when he ran his first startup on AWS in 2007 while still in college.
